Tips for heart-stopping Instagram feed layouts
One of the objectives of many brands, both personal and large businesses, is to maintain an Instagram feed that is attractive and that, as soon as you see it, you want to follow the account so you don't miss anything. But that does not mean that by putting beautiful photos you have it already done. Not much less.
In reality, certain previous aspects must be taken into account. Which is it? We tell you:
Your brand, your style. Imagine that you have a personal brand of web designer. And it turns out that all the publications they make are of your drawings. Not one is from a web designed. Does that really give visibility to your work? The most possible is that no. You have to adapt your style to that feed. Show what you do and how you do it differently from the rest of your competitors.
Analyze your competitors. Be careful, we say analyze, not copy. To know how to stand out from them, the first thing you need is to know what your competition does and then do things differently from it. If not, in the end you may be doing the same as others who have been there for more years and have more experience than you.
With that said, let's focus on ideas for Instagram feed layouts. Surely one of them works for you or you can adapt it to your business.
Lines
Imagine that you make a publication and you decide that all the photos you post will have a lower and upper white line. Very fine, it doesn't have to be thick.
You start posting and notice that by the time you're six or nine posts in, the feed looks like it's turned into an actual grid separating the posts along those lines, like they're part of three-part boxes.
Visually it is very elegant, and the truth is that you can do it with both horizontal and vertical lines, because the effect is maintained.
Beware of the color pattern
Another way to style your Instagram feed is with a similar color palette across all the posts you make. In this way, a unique tonality is sought, which at the same time combines with the brand itself, so that the user, as soon as he sees those photos, identifies them and immediately relates them to the brand.
This is not to say that you should always use photos with those colors; You could also use posts with a solid color that goes with that palette you have.
The result is quite attractive. It is true that, in more vivid colors, it attracts much more attention. But even so, in the most subdued it gives elegance and good taste (in the liveliest the emotion that stands out is being active, the brand being vibrant).
Place frames on photos
There are many Instagram feed designs, but one of the most proliferating, especially in newspapers and news-focused websites, is having a template on which they put the image and text. They're all the same, which makes the Instagram feed serious, but also monotonous about it.
Visually it will look nice, as well as neat. But you must be careful that the template does not make the image lose visibility (because, after all, it is what should attract attention).
puzzle style
Surely you have ever seen a brand use it. It is about making consecutive publications so that a larger “picture” is formed in the feed with the nine publications.
Visually it is very attractive, and certainly causes a sensation. But he has a problem. And it is that, as it continues to be published, the images are misplaced and that effect is lost (in fact, sometimes a sensation of disorder is created).
Now, that's easy to fix because posting nine photos at a time fixes everything. In other words, it would be using the puzzle method for the entire time in your feed. Just one post? No, you would have to do 9, which are the pieces of the puzzle that you must upload.
In this way you will always have the images well placed and they can even attract even more attention.
Chessboard
If you have a chessboard in your mind right now, you will know that there are blank spaces and black spaces. In other words: you have two colors.
Well, that's what you can think of doing in the Instagram feed. We are talking about choosing two colors, one solid and another that can have a color palette (yes, one light and one dark).
For example, you choose a color palette where black (dark) predominates, and another with a solid color, pink.
In the publications you have to alternate between the color palette and the pink in such a way that they are skipped and when the result is seen it will appear that there are boxes in one color and others in another.
in rows
This is one of the Instagram feed designs that will give you as much freedom as possible. It is characterized by using three publications (the three that the feed shows you) of the same color palette.
That would complete a row. The next one would be with a different color palette. And the next one totally different from the previous ones.
In this way, it seems that you go through rows making publications that are similar in terms of tonalities.
The same can be done if, instead of rows, they were columns, but here we have the problem that with the puzzle, they get misplaced.
The truth is that playing with the designs of the feed on Instagram is quite fun and you can come up with many things. But you must always keep in mind the type of business that Instagram account corresponds to and how you want others to see, identify and relate to it.
