Busted! The 12 Instagram photos everybody takes
Thought you were original? Well you're not. Joanna Zhou pulls the rug on the Instagram phenomenon with these illustrations of the same damn photos everybody takes.
We're big fans of photo sharing Instagram here at Creative Bloq, and there are many designers and photographers posting some incredible stuff daily that can be a real inspiration (we've picked a few of them to check out here).
Inevitably, though, not all of Instagram's 100 million+ global users are so creative. Flicking through the site and spotted some rather obvious trends, artist Joanna Zhou decided to document them in a series of pithy illustrations.
Are you guilty of these Instagram cliches? Or are there others you feel Zhou has missed out on? Let us know your views in the comments!
