Inspiring Visual Content Creation for Instagram

“Thank you very much for joining us on this path in which we have taught you how to create an attractive feed for your Instagram profile. Remember that rules are meant to be broken, so experiment with your phone's camera and play with different types of photography and compositions to create the nine photos that will be part of your final project. Before saying goodbye, we are going to review the essential steps that we have done in the course and that you have to take into account when working on your own final project: Inspiration The best thing to create is to be inspired, so start by soaking up photos and images that you like, also research different types of feed to know which one you would like to do. To do this, you can use Pinterest or the Instagram accounts that we have recommended to you during the course. Organize all this information in a mood board. Here we show you an example of a feed (in Unit 3 we explain the different types) and an example of Pinterest, but in this step we would like you to show us your mood board, that is, a document or an image in which you include the images that have inspired you, the accounts you have looked at, the feed design you are going to do, etc.

Photographs It's time to get down to work and take a still life photograph, a portrait and an interior space. No matter what type of photo you want to take, start from less to more. Stylize your photos little by little and give them personality. Break the rules and try creative resources to get different results. The best way to take a good photo is to take many, so don't hold back. In the course we have seen that with few resources many different types of photos can be taken. Here we share some examples of what we have done on set. Selection and editing When you have taken your photos, select the ones you like the most. Then it's time to edit them. Make basic touch-ups with Instagram and try to give them a homogeneous image using the VSCO filters and tools that you like the most. It would also be great if you put into practice what you learned in Unit 4 and combine different photos with frames and text using the InShot app. This way you will be able to retain your followers, making them spend more time looking at your photos and giving your publications a more editorial character. Here we show you some of our edited photos. Feed layout After retouching your photos, create a folder on your phone with the edited images and design your feed. Try combinations until you find one with which you are one hundred percent satisfied. Think of the feed as a puzzle in which each photo is a piece that has to fit with the rest. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the end result of your feed and the steps that led to it. We remind you that we will be attentive to the forum, so we would love to see the result of your work during the course. In addition, you will also be able to see what your colleagues have done, which will serve to find inspiration and create community. That's why we invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It sure is very enriching! See you on the forum! ”
