Style

Set a specific style for your Instagram profile.

All great Instagram feed ideas have one thing in common: consistent themes and edit style (filters/presets).

Your style is composed of some elements you should think about and write them down.

Edit Presets/Filters

The way you edit your posts is crucial and you should pick a consistent style and stick to it.

You can either choose a specific preset you apply to all pictures, or you can create your own edit style. For example, all your posts will be:

Preset/ Style
Your brand's specific colors

Each brand (even if it's a personal brand) has a unique palette of colors. It can be found in the logo as well.

Try to use them in your posts.

Layout/Theme

Instagram's grid has all the posts arranged in three rows and many lines.

You can set up a personal layout to have a pleasant look.


Add a check icon next to the one you choose to follow

border

The Border Theme/ Layout

You can add white or black borders to your images to obtain this effect. You can choose either a square border or apply it only on the sides.

puzzle

The Puzzle Theme/ Layout

All your photos are linked together and they form a bigger image.

You have to make sure that each individual photo makes sense on its own.

rainbow

The Rainbow Theme/ Layout

This is one of the hardest themes to create because it requires a lot of work when it comes to content creation.

To achieve a rainbow theme you must have a minimum of 1 line with all the posts of the same color, and the following ones must change in a gradient way when you scroll down.

tiles

The Tiles Theme/ Layout

Alternate between two types of content, for example:

row

The Row Theme/ Layout

Each of the 3 lines of the grid can have a different type of content. For example:

line

The Line Theme/ Layout

Each line of your feed contains a set of 3 posts (pictures or videos) with the same setup, or a common pattern.

Choose a specific niche

The first thing you have to decide is WHAT IS YOUR NICHE?

What will be the main topic of your Instagram account?
The less you choose, the better.
