That’s why it’s crucial for designers to create a cohesive brand aesthetic to put in front of existing and potential customers. This visual cohesion can be achieved in many different ways, including the construction of color, type, and imagery patterns. And, while we’ve discussed tips on how to build a cohesive Instagram grid before, this time around we wanted to share a practical template to help you make it happen.

  • An Illustrator (.ai) template to plan a 3 by 3 grid. This template makes it a breeze to export individual squares with Illustrator’s “Export for Screens” feature. Each artboard is sized 1080px X 1080px. To save each artboard as an image, save your file first. Then click on File > Export > Export for Screens. You will be able to view each image, select a file format, and choose the desired location to save.
  • A Photoshop (.psd) template to plan a 3 by 3 grid. This file uses Photoshop’s “Generate Image Assets” feature. Each artboard is sized 1080px X 1080px. To save each artboard as an image, click on File > Generate > Image Assets. 
  • Both files include a moodboarding area where you can store your brand’s logo, color palette, textures, patterns, typography scheme, and imagery to have them handy whenever you’re designing the grid.
