HOW TO MAKE A INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT ;

Today I'm gonna teach you how to make a Instagram account for your books! I think it's a cool factor to have when you have you're cast list. Reminder that I was trying to figure out what fonts to use so I switch from font to font. Just find a simple font that looks sort of like the Instagram font. Avoid any cursive or in your face fonts. We want this too look as realistic as possible.

STEP ONE) look around on we heart it for a theme. Here's some questions to ask your self.

What type of mood does your character like?
What's their style?
What's their personality?
What's their favorite color?

For example, this fake account is base off Jason Todd so for starters I tried to look with something with a hint of red and something kinda violent. With the pictures I was finding, i couldn't do something with a dark theme to it.

You can always look around tumblr for ideas because sometimes there is people who make fake accounts for your fav. DO NOT STEAL THEIR EDIT

take inspiration from it and search for something sort of similar but put on your own twist.

Find about nine pictures. Six for the actual account and three for options for a profile picture.

STEP TWO) go to PicsArt and put the pictures in a 9 square college. Set up the first boxes as if there the feed for the account and the bottom three are profile pictures. Save when done.

(Don't steal this ^)

STEP THREE) go to polarr and add a filter to make all the pictures match.

STEP FOUR) now open up the picture and begin adding your pictures. Put them on screen and erase any unneeded areas. Then choose a profile picture. Save when done.

STEP FIVE) now open Phonto and add all the needed information.
Think of a username that involves their name. For the bio I searched up Jason Todd quotes and picked the one I liked the most.
I pulled up my Instagram account on my phone and had it next to me so I can try to match the fonts. I can't exactly remember what fonts I used. I wanna say COCOMAT-light and CODE-BOLD but I'm not too sure.

Then you got yourself a character's Instagram account.

I found this little outline that I thought was cool. You can crop it or erase it. I went on my spam account and sent a message to my main to see how much the notification covers. It covers the username so place it over the username.

Here are some more examples. Two of them are unfinished because I'm too lazy to actually do their whole info.

( if only making your own feed was easy like this. I see so many books that have these cool Instagram accounts but I could really never find a tutorial on how to do the. Their quite easy to make. It only takes like ten minutes to do them. I hope you all like this type of tutorial, see y'all later !)
