If you are a graphic designer, you will know Instagram is a fodder ground for lots of interesting ideas.
I will be sharing some of the best page designs I have stumbled on over the last year (Listed in no particular order!). Some of you may know some already. Feel free to share yours and let me know your ranking. Personally, my ranking is based on my perceived complexity of their designs and starting from best is 54231. How would you rank?

I love this classic bold-font combo of mostly yellow and white. Very catchy stands out and he does a lot of hardwork with the designs too. As in my own ranking, this is first for all the hardwork with design (share yours too).

How exciting can Black & White get? Very. Looking for some interesting ways to spread out your page in b&w while captivating your followers with pictures and videos? Salem King shows why he's the B&W king of Nigerian Instagram. I definitely love this one.

3. @gradsuccessng

So there are many superb brand pages out there especially with the big names - Nescafe, Coca cola e.t.c These guys do a great job with there pages but I stumbled on gradsuccess a few weeks ago and thought something was unique compared to other big pages - Management of text and graphics (even with bright colors) in a way that isnt distracting. Also, do you notice those bar connectors?

2. @ms_einsteinette & @monsieuruwem

Looking for some good ideas for a personal branded page? This couple are some of the biggest sensations in the world of Nigerian personal instagram branding right now. I stumbled on einstenette earlier last year and haven't regretted one bit. Amazing interlacing between picture and text and she sure knows how to write too. If yellow isn't your thing, get a variant from her husband's page. @monsieuruwem does great work in green as well.

1. @danielotabor

I thought this was a very neat way to arrange text and photo. In particular the way key text are emphasised, as well as the arrangement of upcoming live programs on one column of the page makes it really sleek. Well planned and sequenced.

I'd rank 15423. That last guy's page has a good appeal.

Decent page but I was hoping to see some complexity in design. It seems like your typical Instagram page

Harrison is nowhere near the best when it comes to manipulation...just some smartphone Photoshop tricks...If you're looking for a Photoshop guru, Check Johnny Montage or Emmanuel Nwogbo on Facebook
