How to make a creative Instagram account

Fancy some wow factor on your instagram account?

I did.

So I made a 12 shot series today.

I love Instagram.

And getting creative with your account.

Especially if you are creating a brand.

Like me.

Fancy knowing how I did it,

So you can make one too?

How to make a creative instagram account:

Firstly,

I decided on a 12 shot series.

Then made a template in Indesign.

I laid my pictures over this template.

Using this breakdown,

4 squares, 2 vertical squares, 1 single, 2 horizontal squares and one pic across 3 squares.

Then I cropped them into 12 separate squares.

And made 12 single jpgs in photoshop.

I checked to see what each pic would look like as a stand alone image,

to make sure I was happy when they were posted individually.

Before I posted…

I also checked to see what would happen when my images were moved around, here’s a sample below.

As they stand alone quite well, it doesn’t matter if they don’t all join up,

and some of mine even make up a group image in a different position.

I saved my images in order of posting, starting from the bottom first (see below).

Then I posted each shot on instagram. Using the hashtag #thebiggerpicture

Next time, I’ll post over a few days,
