That\u2019s why they\u2019re easily recognizable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I strongly advise you to take a tour of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hippie-inheels.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hippie In Heels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blog to understand what a coherent visual identity really is. Her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/newblog.creatopy.com\/blog\/personal-branding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personal brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is easily recognizable and memorable. She\u2019s got a unique color palette using light blue as the main color. There\u2019s also a pair of fonts (a hand lettering and a sans serifs font) that appear on all of her blog images. And there are several shapes and glitter textures that she uses as over layers to create a glamour effect. Whoever does her blog\u2019s visual materials must be a skilled designer. If she creates them herself, she must be really multi-talented! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use these design elements to create a unique visual identity for yourself: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Photography style <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; test several photography styles and find a unique style that matches your storytelling technique and personality. Play with photoshoot angles, details, and perspectives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Color palettes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Use filters to add an even more personal touch to your images. Adding filters to photos is extremely easy nowadays, as most mobile phones have their own set of camera filters. Also, you can add filters using Creatopy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fonts &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a font (family or pair of fonts) and stick with it. This font will be your voice and people will learn to recognize your brand, by simply seeing your message. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visual style &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly define your visual style and use it to create all of your blog images. Your visual style is an extension of your personality. So, choose between girly and romantic, hippie and adventurous, urban chic, classy aristocratic and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><a id=\"eye-catching\"><\/a>6.

The reason why bloggers put so much effort into creating eye-catching images for their blogs is that their blog posts get shared across social media and other websites and they\u2019re seen by many people. Having some attention-grabbing images increases your chances to get clicks, visitors and have your blog read. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And plus, it\u2019s a positive experience you offer to your readers every time they come back to read your updates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dani DiPirro, the owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.positivelypresent.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positively Present <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, has been working for many years to shape the visual style of her blog images.
