1. 2021 Instagram will be full of Gritty Gradients design Color gradients are one of the biggest Instagram design trends right now. A gradient is a smooth color transition, usually used to fill a background or space. Use the trand on memes and quotes like the pic below.

3. Block your feed with one palette. In-feed color blocking can make your Instagram grid look more professional and cohesive, which is a great way to encourage people to hit the follow button on your profile. Color blocking can be achieved by using harmonious tones alongside one another, or by having a strict color scheme that ties all your posts together - you can change it every 18-24 post. use a free visual planning tool to experiment with different feed compositions before you hit publish (i'm using preview app). 4. Moodboard Collages Feel inspired? shere it with yours followers. use creative apps to make collage. In 2021 we’ll see this playful trend go even further, mirroring homemade cut and paste scrapbooks with a mix of pictures, fonts, and textures, Hand drawn lines, annotations, and repetitive lines of text will also be popular.
