Style Your Instagram Grid with Adobe InDesign

Planning your Instagram posts in Adobe InDesign in order to share a curated selection of your artwork can help you refine your signature style, attract your ideal customers, and build your artist brand. Adobe InDesign is a great program for styling your Instagram grid because you can easily make changes to colors, arrangement and the cropping of artwork before exporting the final files to be uploaded to Instagram.

Join surface designer, Genna Blackburn, as she walks you through the tools needed to style your Instagram grid with Adobe InDesign. First, you’ll set up a template in InDesign that you can easily plug your photos and artwork into, and then you’ll learn the essential tools and panels of InDesign that are needed to style those images. The project for this class is to create a balanced grid of nine images that are ready to be posted to Instagram.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

• Style your Instagram feed to help solidify your signature style, strengthen your artist brand and attract your ideal customers
• Set up a template in Adobe InDesign that is easy to drop images into
• Utilize the tools and panels of Adobe InDesign needed to style your grid
