Facebook spent a huge amount of money to acquire Instagram. Since then, it has become an important app for most of the Facebook users, although, the number of Instagramers is still not very high. Just within the first quarter of 2014, Instagram has reported over 200 million monthly users but that is still nowhere near the staggering 1.01 billion monthly active users of Facebook on phones and tablets. The photo-sharing social network was launched in October, 2010, and its current statistics show how quickly a social network based on mobile phone and images can become famous.<\/p>\n
Research tells us that people prefer visual content over written text. No wonder why a social platform like Instagram is doing so well, as it is the perfect place for brands to showcase their products, for professional designers to flaunt their personal portfolios, and especially, photographers and illustrators to acquire fandom and followers. Their profiles on Instagram are bringing them recognition all over the internet. Their illustration works are not limited to Instagram only; people share them on various online platforms, communicate with the illustrators, and provide useful critique. Now those designers could be some women illustration designers in New York<\/a><\/strong> or the top illustrators from world over, the ones that give it a shot get their due share of online fame and popularity. <\/p>\n From interesting character making projects to rough sketches, graphical demonstrations to creating logo designs<\/a><\/strong>, you will find so much on the Instagram that you won\u2019t be able to put down your phone once you log into that application. As far as I am concerned, several hours can pass by before I am able to absorb the colossal amount of inspiration from that social network. It is addictive, just like Pinterest and I read somewhere that creative people have a harder time retaining their focus. Ha ha!<\/p>\n Before I derail the topic, let us get back to the purpose of today\u2019s post. Since we are a design blog and we continuously bring you a fresh feed of new and upcoming talent, designers who are struggling or established, I thought of including some compelling Instagram Designer portfolios of Illustrators from around the world. I look forward to seeing your feedback on their work.<\/p>\n Chuck Anderson is the owner, artist, designer at NoPattern art and design studio.
