How to Become an Instapoet: Part II

Step 3: Create Content

Now it’s time to get really creative(kinda). What you’re gonna do is have a conversation with someone about the trauma that social media has caused you. Nice deep talk about how unfair what happened to you was. Feel better? I’m sure you do, after all, it was only a college assignment and you’ve already passed that class so you’re okay. Now, get a pen and paper and write down whatever lines you can remember from the conversation. Make them depressing, people love that. Then, pick a trendy font (I recommend Helvetica, Arial, or Futura) and type out those lines on a plain background. Make sure all of your text is lowercase, that’s how the cool kids are doing it these days. If the finished product looks too plain to you, add an illustration in the opposite corner. You don’t have to be good, just claim it as part of your “aesthetic”.
