Prior to this assignment, I had a LOT of experience with Canva. The company I work for has a premium subscription and I use it to create flyers, announcements, and posters. As for Instagram, I used to be much more active (as you can see by checking out my feed) before I deleted the app on my phone around four years ago.
As for my approach to promotion, I went toward more of a casual and fun style. All of my designs started with a picture from the blog post and then I took the information that I wanted to convey on it and built the font and shapes around all of those!
There was really not a lot challenging about this assignment! Since I’m so familiar with Canva, I was able to make all of these in a couple hours. It was fun to try and market my work and show it off. I’ve shared a few of my blog posts before on Facebook, but this is my first time in a successive series.
The hardest part was creating the captions below. I didn’t just want to put in the first line of each blog post and I wanted to have a laid-back feel. So, I took the assignment descriptions and used those for what information I should provide.
In the future, I think Instagram will be used less than Twitter for me, but when selling products a purely picture-based social media site could be really useful!
