A theme is more than just a look - it's a vibe, a story, or a consistent idea that flows throughout your profile, artwork, or design.
Definition (in art and design terms):
A theme is a recurring idea or aesthetic that guides the overall feel and look of your profile, layout, or creative space.
In simpler words: It can be a specific color, mood, or concept that pulls everything together - from your profile picture to your cover photo. Think of it like the "outfit" your profile wears.
Where Do You Find Themes?
It all starts with one simple question:
"What color or mood am I feeling?" Once you have a color or idea in mind, try searching for it with words like:
"aesthetic" "theme" "[color] moodboard" "[character or universe] aesthetic" Whether it's a color like lavender or emerald, or a vibe like 2000s nostalgia or "enchanted forest," that's your starting point.

Final Tips: Balance is Everything
Whether or not you use filters or effects, don't go too matchy-matchy.
Avoid using the exact same shade in every photo - contrast creates depth. A good theme blends, but doesn't overwhelm. You want it to flow, not blur together. Keep it coordinated, but not boring. That balance? That's the magic.
