How can I make text readable in my reels when the background is light or busy?

Use a classic, simple font and apply the outline or highlight feature—white text with a black outline works against any background. Avoid colorful, decorative fonts and stickers that can make your profile look unprofessional. Your goal is clarity and a polished, gallery-like aesthetic that matches the professionalism of your art business.
