Power users of Instagram understand how to maximise this perspective by strategically scheduling posts that, when grouped together, form an aesthetically pleasing grid.
It’s high time you calculated the sum of your own rows of squares. To increase your Instagram following and interaction, here is all you need to know about creating an eye-catching grid.
How your Instagram grid looks affects your visibility
Your Instagram photo grid is a chance to exhibit your mood or brand at a glance to new followers and visitors to your profile.
The grid displays all of a user’s previous posts in one convenient location. It’s a visual, high-level introduction to their personal or professional brand, and it gives you your initial impression of their whole body of work.
If you’re only using Instagram to interact with friends and not build an audience, then the time and effort you put into making a beautiful grid may not be worth it to you.
Ten original approaches to Instagram grid design
A plan is the foundation of every good Instagram grid. To help you create your own unique style, we’ve combed Instagram for the most impressive grids. These can serve as models for your Instagram grids.
Stick to a single colour scheme.
This is the most prevalent type of grid, and not because I have anything against someone who is lazy (please don’t @ me!).
Choose a single colour scheme (maybe pinks and greys?) or a single tone (maybe high contrast neons) to appear in all of your images. Even though the photos’ subject matter is diverse, when seen as a collection they will appear to be of uniform quality. Lifestyle and interior decorator expert
If you’re not lucky enough to be visiting a place that seems like it was designed with Instagram in mind, you can still take pictures that all have a cohesive feel by applying the same filter to them all.
Just say it again
There’s a certain relaxing quality to browsing through a feed that just ever shows you the same thing. When all the pictures are same in style, there’s no guessing what you’ll get.
Photographs of @takemehome_cake’s creative cakes are all taken with the same lighting and background. While the colours may shift with the seasons, the ultimate result is a reliable stream in which each product stands out against a monotonous background.
Make it look like a checkerboard.
You may make your grid seem like a checkerboard by posting photographs of varying styles. Experiment with blending close-up photographs with landscapes or quoting the text. Alternating between two colours is another option.
Plan in rows
Don’t only think inside the (row) box, but outside of it as well. A striking effect may be achieved success by aligning the photographs in each row along a common theme or colour.
If you get queasy looking at new tattoos on people, I apologise, but this one from @spooky_skeleton_wizard had to be shown. In this tattoo parlour, the rows of old ink are interspersed with rows of fresh artwork.
Many users post the same caption for all three photos in a panoramic image row to make it clear that the three photos are actually one large horizontal image, as photographer @gregorygiepel did with his architectural shots.
Try some new typefaces.
Including text in your articles on a regular basis may help you achieve a distinctive, font-forward aesthetic. Even if you don’t have an account dedicated just to info-pictures, you may still create an attractive feedback by interspersing photographs with lots of text.
By arranging photographs with text and graphics in advance, you may build a balanced spread that is full of exciting moments to pull in the “reader” on Instagram, which is a lot like a magazine page.
The Instagram account @nikerunning has a variety of postings, including both photographs and graphics with the account’s signature strong text posts. Any takeaways? Your design palette can consist of anything, including completely unrelated elements, so long as you apply them consistently and in moderation to create a balanced grid.
Make your comments into a riddle.
Although difficult to implement on a daily basis, a puzzle grid layout may make quite an impact when used for a major announcement, campaign, or the introduction of a new account.
The individual squares in a puzzle grid come together to form a larger, more complex whole. When taken alone, each of these postings is likely to appear absurd. But when seen as a whole, it becomes art.
