How to Design Bags of Love Products with Instagram Images

It seems that Instagram photographs are popping up everywhere.  For those who are unfamiliar with the smartphone application, it allows you to add visual filters to your phone’s photographs.  All you have to do is snap a photo with your smartphone, and Instagram allows you to choose a specific visual filter for the image.  In seconds you are able to transform your image’s look and feel with vintage effects, special lighting, and intensified colours.

The beauty of Instagram is that it allows you to create professional style images without the expensive equipment.  Even if you are new to photography, the application is easy to use and produces amazing effects.  Because Instagram works with smartphones you are able to take photographs at anytime (since most of us always have our phones with us!).  You can snap incredible images at the click of a button.

Smartphones have undoubtedly revolutionised the way we approach photography.  Their mobility and applications allow us to capture more moments and memories – all you have to do is remember where you last put it!  And Instagram allows us to go further with our creativity and distinctive style.  Visit Instagram’s blog to see what the application is capable of.  Plus, the Instagram app formats pictures into a simple square – which is brilliant for designing Bags of Love items with your own Instagram images!
