A big part of this presentation is the color story of the page.

This is a fundamental step in the process of color story creation. Is your page all about calm vibes, minimalism, and peaceful pics? If so, stick to earth tones of hunter green, or neutral colors like white, jet black and beige. Are you all about fun and exploration?

Some of us like brightly colored hues, others prefer all black, all day, every day. Our choices in hue convey important information. So as you construct your own personal feed, don’t miss out on using color as a tool, as a layer—as an important part of your story.

What feelings do you get from these images? With each background, each piece of ready-to-wear, the model seems to have a different personality, a different energy, a different feel. They embody different characters. That’s the power of visual narrative. That’s the power of color!
