Make your Posts Aesthetic using these Techniques
The world has really become a small place. Social media has connected the whole world. It has also become a place for many to show their skills and network with people to increase their following. People with a huge following on social media who generally produce content on a regular basis are termed “influencers”. Influencers are all the rage these days. What captivates the audience most is the way they present themselves aesthetically mostly via photos and videos. These photos are professionally shot and edited, the same goes for the video. Even the selfies either taken by a normal camera app or any faceapp are edited to get an aesthetic effect. Influencers tend to hop on an ongoing trend and create content around that to reach more people. They make sure that their content looks great. But why are we talking about influencers and their content you ask? Well, we are here to show you how you can achieve that level of quality when it comes to editing your photos and videos.
The first and the most important thing to keep in mind is you can’t edit a bad photo into a good one. Always try to get multiple shots so that you can choose the best one out of them for going further with editing. Moving forward, any said aesthetic mostly depends on the color grading which is also called color correction. Here, you can choose which colors or shade you want highlighted more or less. Different types of color correction in images evoke different emotions. You can learn color correction and dive deep into it. You can use any photo edit app that offers the color grading function. There are even apps that solely focus on color correction. To make things easy, you can use presets for color gradings. Presets are already tested values of different options in a color grading app, thus when you apply a certain preset you get a certain effect. You can just apply a preset of your choice and then tweak it a bit if you need to get your desired aesthetic.
The next thing that most of the influencers use to make their posts aesthetic as well as attractive is graphic texts or graphic designs edited onto the photo or video. It can be as simple as replacing your background with artwork or graphic design. It’s simple as well as very effective. It sort of acts like eye candy for the audience. Graphic texts, icons and even emojis among many other things can be added to make the image or video more interesting. Any “edit photo app” available on the internet offers these features. These apps make it very simple for us, all we have to do is click and drag stuff to get our desired result.
Colour grading combined with some graphics is all you need to start your aesthetic endeavor. Try to experiment with the features and remember not to go overboard with editing. Keep it simple.
