Text can elevate your collage from “pretty pictures” to a statement. Use a sans-serif font like Helvetica for a clean, magazine look, or a handwritten script for warmth. Write a date, a joke, or a line from a poem you love. But keep it short—three words maximum. “July feels.” “Home.” Let the images do the heavy lifting.
Pro move: type backward on a separate photo, then flip it in the app. It gives that mysterious, reversed-film effect that screams “I’m an artist on the L train.” Also, try using the transparency slider on text boxes—softening the opacity makes it feel like a watermark of memory.

Sharing With Grace
When you’re done, export at the highest resolution (usually PNG). Then don’t post it immediately. Let it sit in your camera roll for an hour. Look at it on your laptop or share it with a friend. The best collages are the ones you almost delete because they feel too raw—then you realize that rawness is exactly the point.
Use Instagram Stories as a test lab. Post a blurred version first, then the real one. People love a reveal. And remember: a collage doesn’t need to be “done.” Sometimes a half-finished mess of overlapping textures is more interesting than a tidy layout. Embrace the glitch.
