- Tip -
Not too much!
We have covered many things that you can add to your stories, but make sure not to add everything at once.
If your story is only a page, perhaps you can use an initial cap and a border. For a longer story, perhaps you can use page numbers and a title page.
If you use too many design elements, your story pages will look cluttered.
