This week, I dove deep into the world of Canva graphics and decided to make an instagram for my blog. I have had experience with Instagram and Canva before because I have my own private Instagram account (@thekinseyhein) and have made graphics for the Oral Communication Center’s Instagram account (@oralcomcenter) using Canva.
I wanted to aim for a more modern promotional strategy that was pretty girly but still professional. I love having the basic outlines of women that are inclusive and simple, my sorority recently did something like this to promote a philanthropy event and it was very cute.
I had to mess around with Canva a lot to get the style of post that I wanted as well as find a template that would make sense. I also made a new Instagram account because I didn’t want to promote my blog on my personal account because it would mess up the aesthetic I have going.
Once I figured out what I was doing it was a lot easier to make the posts. I thought it would take me forever to make these graphics but it ended up only being less than half an hour for some.
I could see myself running an Instagram account in the future or working with a team to think of creative Instagram posts. I love when companies do fun social media campaigns and I would love to be part of that creative process!
