RE: How My Posts Are Born

in OCD4 years ago

I love your post, not only because I am in general very curious and I love to learn more about each other, no I especially love to learn how to write better posts and yes, you have a lot I want to incorporate in the future (if I manage). Because in my view you nailed it: the post should be a good amalgamation of information, fun, connection and design. Especially on the latter I have a lot to learn. I always admire the clear outlook of your posts with an instantly visible and comprehensive structure. I love the dividers you use for the paragraphs (and honestly I want to copy-steal this from you 😱) Your post seem to breathe... they have air and do not overwhelm with to much of everything (yes, I know, I must learn a lot)
Besides it is very helpful to learn about your tools. I mainly use Canva to arrange the photos and to insert text into the photos, but I seldom edit the photo itself. I am still a bit unsure which route I should go. Right now it takes me a lot of time to take usable photos (where I can live with myself without vomiting instantly) but as much as I love beautiful photos (and people) I also want to learn to live with the „real“ me which perhaps has more double chin, creases and other funny things than I want to admit... sorry, I again started to ramble.
Back to your post: love it <3

I always love hearing your feedback and thoughts. Thank you. 😊

You won’t be copying or stealing anything. I learned about using dividers here on the platform long ago, many use them and it helps to break up text and keeps things visually neat. Have at it! 😉

The breathing and air part you speak of is me separating thoughts throughout the posts. I learned that a paragraph in a post shouldn’t be more than just 3 sentences in order to keep the reader active and interested. I don’t always follow that rule but use it as a guide. Even a one sentence paragraph helps break things up and keeps things fun. I like using those one sentences as a question or a thought.

I get it about the editing, if you feel your photos are already great than no need. It’s just the photographer that was born in me from being here. Sometimes I don’t edit photo to fix anything but mainly to enhance it. If I feel it could use a bit more color or sharpness that’s what I shoot for.

So don’t feel you have to edit your looks. The photos you take modeling your outfits are already beautiful. Maybe it could be more of editing your process photos or any objects you feel could use enhancement for better eye traction. 🙂❤️
