How to take the perfect picture for social media



Working with Filters


The best filter for your design will vary depending on your content, so make sure you have a clear idea about the emotions you want to project.


Let’s break a graphic down into

• Color (or hue)

• Shape

• Size

• Directionality (pointing or leading)

• Perspective (or depth)

• Density (both the richness of colors and of detail)

• Subject matter (the person, place, or thing represented)


The human ear recognizes harmony in the sonic qualities of music, so the human eye perceives— and is attracted to—optical patterns of visualizations.


If you’re making your own unique filter, copy and paste the code for consistency; a great tool for brand images. The human eye sees a focal point within an image which is what becomes visually appealing. Applying a vignette will enhance this process.


The ‘Normal’ setting refers to your original state of your image – before any filters have been applied. Be cautious not to get carried away with the filters, as images can become over-exposed, over saturated or very unnatural quiet easily.
