Fid the ketchup for your fry
When you’re arranging/posting a series of photos, make sure the ones on the same row or column look contrasting to each other. You can also style them in different ways – having an entire row or column composed of pictures of the same color/any particular theme, applying rule of The Dichotomies, patterning it in different ways, etc. Always take into consideration the color of your photos.
Design your feed in 3s, 9s and 15s
Make sure to find balance in the increments of 3s, 9s and 15s in your feed. You can apply various perspectives and combination of styling your rows together. When you’re looking at a single row, which is your 3s, ask yourself if the way you’ve combined the 3 pics in a row looks appealing. When you’re looking at multiple rows, let’s say 5 rows, this is where the bigger picture comes in. Put yourself in the viewer’s point of view and see if the styling or pattern you have used looks good enough for people to gawk at it.
