Design for Instagram: Charged Youth Promo's

I recently started posting promo's for the Intermediate (11-14 year old) Youth Group I'm involved with to Instagram.

I created a template on Adobe Photoshop set to 612x612 at 72dpi where I either create the whole design or create a graphic layer before using Over (the best typography app I've used) to add text.

Here are a few I've created so far:

You can find these, and other Charged Instagram Promo's on my . YouthEvents . board on Pinterest.

Here's another set of my favourite photos I've posted on my Instagram account over recent months.

My favourite app for adjusting colour, texture and adding frames is Afterlight.

Wedding Photos: Part II

Here's a second batch of photo's from mine and Andrew's wedding afternoon. You can see Part I here. These images were taken a vineyard in West Auckland, and at Muriwai Beach.

Wedding Photos: Part I

Here's a collection of photos from the afternoon of mine and Andrew's wedding day. I'm so happy with how the photos turned out, the amazing scenery that we were able to have the photos taken in, and how much fun we had with our bridal party between our ceremony and reception. This collection of photos were taken on the private property of our reception venue in Kumeu, Auckland.

Pinterest Picks: Mountain Oh.

While putting together this post I noticed that much of my favourite scenic pictures contain mountains. I'm a big fan! I'm also a fan of Halfnoise (the band of Zac Farro - ex Paramore drummer) and the song below.

Society 6 Prints

I have been a fan of Society6 after discovering them a few years ago while looking for iPhone cases. Over the last few years they've opened up their range to include prints, canvases, clocks, tees, tote's, pillows, rugs, showers curtains, mugs and more. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, created by artists all over the world. Here's a few I'm liking at the moment:
