I decided to buy a theme for my blog to save myself from the hundreds of hours I would have needed to spend to make my simple template responsive. I tried to change it myself and already spent a few hours finding a tutorial, changing the code, and I still hit a wall. I could not figure out what I did wrong.
So there. Luckily, I found a shop where the themes cost less than $30.
Probably the hardest part about buying a theme is picking out the theme. Most of the themes are similar to each other and are different in the small details, like the alignment of elements or the style of the icons. Half the time, I'd be looking at one theme thinking, "Ooh, I like that", then look at another theme and think, "But I also like that!" Why can't these elements exist on the same theme?
Now I got this beautiful theme and have it up and running and then I realize... It looks awful with my content. Hahaha! I picked a pretty theme and it looks nowhere near the theme creator's mock-up. I never really cared about my photos before, nor minded not having photos, because my previous template didn't really necessitate the need for it. Looking at my blog now, I'm seriously considering discarding my past posts to sort of at least fix the weird looking post list on my sidebar. I need prettier photos.
Somebody, help me get a sense of style.
I've been looking at what I could do to improve my photos. What I'm constantly seeing is this aesthetic that's somewhat minimal, a little detached, and definitely styled. I mean, no hate, I love the look; but how, in the real world, could a smartphone, a tablet, a pencil, binder clips and plastic tulips coexist?
And everywhere online is the same kind of style. I've been wasting my life on the internet, so where was I when the world sent out the memo that photos should be brighter than the sun, colors muted, with more space than the Milky Way?
Digging through Pinterest, I found another blog with a post on "How to Establish Your Instagram Aesthetic", that states that there is a study suggesting that light, bright, minimal photos are dominating the social media game.
Like I said, I think it's pretty. I'm absolutely envious that other people can produce these kind of photos. But I'm doubtful if it could work for me.
