How your music taste can help re-inventing your Instagram

A guide to re-inventing your Instagram

Are you tired of seeing the same aesthetically pleasing Instagram posts with the neutral palette? Nothing wrong with it, but Instagram can be used to show off more the more artistic and playful side of you. There are no limits, experimentation with lights, editing or even simple posing. There are many ways you can go. 

Pick your current music style/taste to determine which kind of MAKEOVER your Instagram can go through :

Rap/ HipHop / Hardcore Rap (Self - explanatory)

Go for a mysterious yet cool look :

Revamp your Instagram with smoke, dark filters and find spots/places are witty using their art. Lower the exposure of your pictures to give a mysterious vibe.  Try to take pictures with flash at night.

EDM/Techno (Think Boiler rooms)

Channel the techno vibe into your Instagram. Edit your pictures to make them more psychedelic. It does not have to be complicated, simple edits using apps can be done on your phone. 5 minutes of extra work will make your Instagram unique AF. Try the double exposure! Go for a trippy, trance theme. Find objects and try to get an angle that makes them look hypnotic.

Here is a tutorial for double exposure : https://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FW1/FI7N/HLFIFYQ1/FW1FI7NHLFIFYQ1.LARGE.jpg

Instrumentals of piano's,violins... (Think the legendary Hans Zimmermann)

You have a gift for appreciating people in general. The subtleties of instrumentals can only be picked out by those who always make someone's day. If not already, how about an understated Instagram theme. Rid your pictures of a bit of saturation, and try taking more candid pictures. Candid pictures of you, your moments and your friends. In fact, for you, a neutral palette Instagram might set a good tone.

Chill vibe at night (Think R&B/ Soul, LoFi)

Try playing with the tints in your pictures. Go on the cooler side and create a theme has a lot of neon or fairy lights. It is really easy to find a pair of fairy lights at home. Experiment a little. Have a look at Brandon Woelfel's Instagram to get some inspiration.

 Dance/beachy kind of vibe ( Think Latin)

How about a tropical theme ? Edit digital flowers into your pictures, maybe make it a little psychedelic. Try putting really bright pictures in pastel blue or yellow backgrounds (this is all editing btw). This is also a great time to incorporate the "Row of Pictures" trend in Instagram. You know what I am talking about, where one picture or different edits on one picture is spread over three posts. Have fun with it.

Find out your perfect pair of sunglasses 

If you are FIRE 

If you are a fire sign, you are always on top of the trend. You light shines through and can brighten up the whole room. You know your energy and you love to show it off. So, this summer, find a mirrored pair of sunglasses that show your BOLDNESS. 

My fellow fire sign, you have pride and something reflective will give you that ego boost!

If you are WATER

If you are a water sign, there is a stability about you that people are drawn too. You are trustworthy and a great emotional backbone for your loved ones. But a side of you that not many people see is the slight humorous shade you might throw from time to time.

This summer, embrace all your qualities and opt for a pair that is effortless,trendy yet grounded. Think of frame less, clear sunglasses with the slightest amount of tint to showcase your comforting and approachable side.

If you are AIR

Ahh, air signs. You are adventurous and love to keep a party going but there is always a classic element about you when it comes to style. You like being understated when it comes to handling trends. So for you, I saw, stick to a black, framed classic pair with gold details. Or if you are trying to channel you devious side, go for a black cat-eye. It captures your diabolical side, in the cutest way possible.

If you are EARTH

Earth is yet another classic type of person when it comes to style. Much more so than Air. For you, go for a earthy tone in your pick this season. Try to keep the frames on the lighter side to still reflect your understanding, and hard-working attitudes with the combination of the calming nature you have. A pair like this, you can wear it every year, without regret.
