From Instagram layout to Instagram grid
During our navigation on Instagram, it’s often possible to see some Instagram profiles so harmonious that they involve us emotionally and attract our attention.
These Instagram profiles with their harmonious photo grid try to communicate but above all to tell stories and emotions, to keep new users on their profile and engaged in their content.
In general, it’s true that content is the king but for Instagram is even truer.
So remember that your visual content on Instagram is what users see first and we all know how it’s important the first impression. In this context, each square, each photo plays an important role in your overall Instagram feed.
It takes just a few seconds for anyone to make a judgment about you and your brand.
When creating your first Instagram Layout, it’s good to think in terms of the last posts published so this makes your top 9 and most recent posts important for first impressions.
But what is an Instagram Layout?
An Instagram layout is a pattern of images, colors, and content that is visually appealing in an Instagram photo grid. With a different Instagram grid, you can tell a different story, so it becomes very important to plan the publication of each square.
Some Ideas to make an Instagram layout with different photo grid
1. Checkerboard
In the checkerboard Instagram grid, every alternate photo has a consistent background.
Most users alternate photos and quotes, a photo and a quote one after the other but many others use variations of colors to animate their feeds.
2. Horizontal Lines
The best and simple way to narrate a story in three consecutive posts, to motivate your users or to share your new blog post title.
This is one of the best Instagram Grid Layouts but you need to watch out that you don’t annoy your existing followers and to have a clear story in mind before you start slicing and dicing photos for Instagram.
3. Vertical Lines
This way to plan your feed is very pretty to look at but you need to have clear what you want to post.
To do that you need only to pick 3 styles of images and post them consecutively. Basically, the vertical line in the middle of your feed will guide your viewers as they scroll down your feed. In this manner your new visitors will continue on scrolling through your feed to enjoy about your creativity and your story.
