An explanation for the perfect Instagram.
January 30, 2020
While I am no master at Instagram or an influencer, over the years, I have learned a few tips and tricks to achieve the perfect Instagram layout. Below are some questions that will help you think about your Instagram’s layout style.
- What’s your vibe?
Are your photos all B&W, super colorful, or edgy? It’s good to settle on a theme for your posts so that your feed does not look incoherent. The best way to establish this is through filters. Through apps like VSCO, a user can choose a specific filter to use on each of their photos. There are different settings for how exposed or contrasted you want your image to be. Settling on a set filter pattern and photo editing plan will make your photos appear individualized yet cohesive on your timeline.
- What do you want to say through your Instagram?
A user needs to decide on what kind of message they are putting across when using Instagram. Are you creating a social or business platform? Once your purpose is established, a user can base their posts on their goal. A business-related Instagram may have more sophisticated photos that encourage the viewer to engage in their profile. Whereas, a strictly social Instagram may feature pictures of friends, families, and fun events. Whatever your purpose may be, it is essential to match your goal with your theme.
- What does a cohesive Instagram say about you?
If a user has a cohesive Instagram, it is assumed that they are organized and put effort into their photos and editing. Cleanliness and cohesion are especially crucial for business-related. A pleasing aesthetic will draw users in to be in support of your purpose.
