I used to scroll through numerous instagram pages that were to die for. How could they pull off such aesthetically pleasing posts? I saw that they all had one thing in common; they each followed their own unique guideline. They all had different themes that captured people’s attention. After roaming through several accounts, I came up with a few tips and tricks that can help upgrade your Instagram game. If you want to visit any of the pages, just click on the picture of their feed!

Mix it up with Borders

A cool way to update your feed and make it appealing to new followers is by adding borders to your pictures. Your feed will have a more uniform correlation that will make it appealing to viewers. UPRM’s own museum’s page uses this style; as well as the user yagowashere.

Use the Same Filter

Fabiola Candelario is a close friend of mine and an aspiring blogger. I’ve always admired her beautiful feed and asked her how she achieves to have such a beautiful feed. She told me that her key to success is taking vibrant pictures and using the same picture in the app VSCO to edit them.

Maintain a Theme

Whether its color blocking, posting about an activity you love, or maintaining the same color scheme, etc., find a theme that you find aesthetically pleasing and focus on posting content that fits your theme.

B&W

Black and white photographs will never go out of style. This classic scheme makes any pictures timeless.

Unique Poses

Change the way you pose for pictures for out of the box pictures that are sure to capture attention from viewers. They will make you stand out from the crowd and help make a name for yourself.
