Project: Instagram 9-Grid Design — Glow & Co. Skincare (Spec)
Conceptualised and designed a full 9-grid Instagram feed for Glow & Co., a minimal skincare brand, using Canva — built entirely from my own creative ideas with no AI assistance on ideas.
The grid was designed to balance four content pillars across nine posts:
— Educate — 5 Skincare Tips infographic, 7 Ways to Control Oily Skin, Benefits of Vitamin C, Best Product breakdown — Inspire — “Be gentle with yourself” lifestyle quote, Skin Care editorial hero post — Product — Press Restart routine overview, Skincare Favorites lineup — Convert — Glowing Skin tips with CTA-driven layout
The feed uses a warm, earthy colour palette of terracotta brown, sage green, and blush pink — intentionally varied by row to create visual rhythm while maintaining brand cohesion across the grid.
What this project demonstrates: — Independent creative ideation and content strategy — Ability to design infographic, lifestyle, editorial, and product posts within a single cohesive grid — Understanding of content pillars and how to balance them visually — End-to-end grid composition and visual hierarchy
