Designing Social Media was my bachelor thesis project which I worked on in summer 2019. I have started curating my Instagram feed back in 2012 and ever since I have been giving it the same type of love and devotion as any other design project. I have always loved the visual freedom the platform provided. With this project I intended to highlight the importance of visual composition and design in a social media content strategy.

I was interested in understanding the history of social media and the internet and the impact it had on marketing and our everyday lives. My thesis discusses each step of creating an Instagram strategy and focuses strongly on the design aspect. As a practical example I documented the work I did for handbag designer Julia Skergeth.

I established a new Instagram marketing strategy, that we continuously improved and worked on. The main points of the strategy were community management, collaborations, giveaways, paid promotions and most importantly content creation, selection and management.
