This research use Dual Coding Theory as base<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">and use quantitative approach. It involve five Gen Z panelist to evaluate Instagram<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">posts only. Image quality is evaluated from color emotional feeling and contrast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Text quality is evaluated from caption emotional tone and hashtag.
