Instagram Story Design

Digital Graphics / Photoshop & Illustrator

Brief
Design a set of themed Instagram stories that combine typography, graphic elements, and photography to create engaging, shareable content. The focus is on visual storytelling, experimenting with layout, and strengthening the connection between imagery and text.

Concepts

• Mother’s Day Stories: Warm, celebratory designs featuring family imagery, floral and heart motifs, and affectionate messages. The aim was to create a heartfelt aesthetic suitable for social media greetings.

• Movie Night Stories: Playful, cozy visuals inspired by the idea of relaxing with films. Popcorn icons, filmstrip frames, and bold “Movie Time” typography add to the cinematic atmosphere.

Process
I curated royalty-free images (not my own photography) and applied custom graphics, fonts, and layouts in Photoshop and Illustrator. Each design was tested for legibility, composition balance, and alignment with Instagram’s story format (1080x1920px).

Outcome
The final series demonstrates versatility in visual tone — from sentimental and heartfelt to fun and casual. Both sets highlight how graphics, typography, and photo selection can transform everyday moments into shareable visual stories.
