DOUBLE TAP: The journey to the perfect Instagram feed

Instagram. The singular one app that validates once and for all your status on the popularity scale. From followers to likes, whether you want to admit it or not, the numbers matter, and in this case… the bigger the better. And with 100s upon 100s of likes, it's hard to maintain a decent flow of likes let alone an aesthetically pleasing feed. Not to worry, Instagram users, with a few simple tools and tips you will be on the path to a stunning and classy profile.

First things first, let's review the basics. When it comes to having the perfect feed, a main theme is key. With that, it great to get creative and try different filters and apps to get the image to look just the way you want. I personally prefer VSCO, which has multiple options that let you make your account just the way you want - not to mention getting across your personal style. Once you've gotten a solid theme, it's time to figure out the mechanics behind the actual picture. Again, it's time to get creative. I personally look for symmetry and color, along with  interesting and unique lighting. Don't be afraid to try different angles that you wouldn't necessarily think of rather than just a simple eye level view.There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the recipe for the perfect Instagram!
