How do you maintain your Instagram Aesthetics?
When I started it in 2015 (I think), it really was a marketing project in class so I had it outlined. It worked so I stuck to it. I don’t maintain an aesthetic anymore, it worked for my fashion business but now I’m not trying to please and draw in customers. It’s becoming tiring and unnecessarily calculating and taking up my brain space. If you have energy good for you but the options are; use the same filter throughout, use similar color palettes, alternate images in a calculated manner and make use of negative spaces.
