2017 changes
New year, new directions:
Decided to ditch "three pic grid"-upload design I've got going on my Instagram, and revert back to single post uploads from now on? Why? Well:
- It creates a lot of pressure on me to ALWAYS publish final art on Instagram. Nothing can't be unfinished or sketches; Just 100% final art.
- More pressure in terms of always have to think in three. Say if I want to upload a single picture, or just one icon post; Then I have to either splice it up to three, or make two more icons to create a set - Which takes time
- All about the likes, well not really, but in a way yes. When you upload three images / post you don't get that interaction with others that you use to get when uploading single images. Comments just get lost in the like clutter on the notifications page, and users are more likely to swipe past your image (in a way, all thanks of Instagrams new algorithm) in their feed. So there's little to no interaction with others when uploading three images at once.
- Would love to share my process, sketches, and photographs, which isn't really something you can do "just like that" when you always have to think in three. My plan for 2017 is to make at least ONE video tutorial (don't know about what yet), but you can't really do that "in" three.
You've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelett.
