Start by selecting a &#8220;Blank&#8221; template to use for your first highlight. After this, you can change the color of the background and add any other elements you need. Once you&#8217;re done, save the finished product to your Camera Roll.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mojito\"><\/span>Mojito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to enhance your Instagram Stories and Highlight Covers.

Nickelodeon has used its shows&#8217; logos to highlight the cover of its games. Other brands can do the same. Here are some examples. Here is a look at how the characters are portrayed on the game&#8217;s cover. You can also use the same concept to create a comic book cover.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_plane_icon\"><\/span>Using a plane icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create Instagram Highlight Covers, you can use a custom icon, background color, or story.

You can even add graphics to your story by pinching and moving the guides layer to the top of the image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_camera_icon\"><\/span>Using a camera icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to make a highlight cover for your Instagram profile.
