Instagram Storys are more important then ever if you want to reach more people and want to gain
more Folowers on Instagram. Today I want to show you 10+ Instagram Story Ideas only using the
normal story tool and no other app additionally. Hopefully you could get some inspiration of this
post. ♥
#1 OUTLINES
Absolutely a quick and simple method to pimp up your story. You just have to draw around an
object, a person or anyhing you want with the brush tool. After that, change into the eraser mode
and erase little parts of the line. Super cute and super easy, when you don't have a lot of time to
edit your story but you want to pimp your picture a little bit. Last but not least some text and
that's it!
#2 CREATING A BOX
Did you know before, that it is super easy to create some boxes for your story? All you have to do
is writing some text (choose the biggest font), click on the button in the left corner and choose a
color the box should have. After that you mark the word/words and choose the same color as
you have choosen befor for the 'background color'. Voila! Looks like a cute box and trust me,
there are so many options to use this method.
#3 SPIRAL / HELIX
I absolutely love love love this trick, cause it's so simple but looks damn cool. You just have to
draw a spiral or zigzag over a person and erase every second line, so it starts to look like the
spiral runs behind the person. I added some text and that's it!
#4 SHADOW FONT
I guess this is a hack a lot of you will know already. Gonna show it anyways for those who didn't
know the magic of layering fonts in different colors. Write down a word, choose a color, write
down the word again, choose a similar color (just a bit lighter) and repeat this once again. Now
you got three different colored words. All you have to do is layering the three words (not totally
identical!) Put every word a little bit more right then the word before and you got this pretty
shadow effect!
#5 FOCUS
If you just want to show the most important part of a picture, or want to call attention to your
next post without showing it immediately, this method is perfect for you! Just paint the whole
picture by clickling a bit longer on the marker pen and erase the part you want to show. Add a
little text or be creative in anothrer way.
#6 RAINBOW FONT
This is a super cute way to pimp your text! First step: write something down. Second: mark the
word and choose your 'startcolor'. Then take a finger on the left mark-circle of the word and hold
on your start cover with another finger. Now you have to slide your one finger from letter to letter
(as the arrows are showing in the picture) while moving the other from colour to colour. I decided
to stay in the brown area of the color palette, but you can also choose a lot of different colors like
red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue ...
#7 MIX YOUR OWN HANDWRITING
For this hack you just need to write something down with your own handwriting. Then you have
to erase the middle part (horizontal) of it and last but not least you need to add the same or another
word written in one of the instagram fonts where you have erased. You can also add a brush stroke
as background, like I did in the follolwing example.
#8 TEXT FRAME
Always looking fancy and so easy to do: text frames. Just use some text as a frame around
your picture.You can be creative with the font, color or space between the letters.
#9 COLOR PALETTE
Create a color palette to make your picture look more aesthetic! Choose the first brush in
a big size and pic a color of your picture. Paint a point at the side, bottom or top and repeat with
other colors. Tadaaa!
#10 SINGLE LETTERS
Write every single letter on their own to create a more dynamic optic! I love doing this, because
you can create so many different looks with it! So many opportunities!
#11 3D EFFECT
Similar to #3 you can paint different lines in different colors and sizes and erase everything
which would overlap you or the thing in the focus. It creates a 3D 'rainbow' look.
#12 MIX FONTS
Last but definitely not least - a really simple opportunity, but not seen that often: mixed fonts.
I absolutely don't know why just a few people use more then one font in a story. It looks super
cool in my opinion, especially when they overlap each other. What do you think?
That's it for day, guys! Hope I could gave you some inspirations!
