How to Instagram Part 5 : Make Your Letters Dance

How to SPARK!!

Hello and thank you for reading my blog.
Welcome to Part 5 of the "How to Instagram" Series. When I really want a single photo post to stand out, I like to add motion to it. How do you add motion to still photos is the question. In this blog I am going to show you a great tool called Adobe Spark that I use to make my still photos POP on IG and FB. It is a really easy app to use app to use and guess what, IT'S FREE!! Well the free version does have a few premium features turned off, but it's only $9.99 a month for the pro version. I recommend starting with the free version until you can navigate easily, then get the pro version so you can really take advantage of the features. Check out the cool animations I added to the photos below. Scroll passed the samples for a Step by Step how to and the link to download Adobe Spark Post.
