ICYMI: Kim Kardashian West has a new Instagram aesthetic. She started rolling it out on January 3rd, 2017 with this post — captioned simply, “Family” — and the fun hasn’t stopped since. The images have a very distinct quality; they’re grainy and kind of sepia-toned, like they were taken on a disposable camera in 1995 or something. I’m not sure what inspired the overhaul or how long it’s going to last, but I’m mainly curious who the mastermind is behind her personal rebranding. What a neat gig! Whoever you are, you’re doing a great job turning Kim into a millennial Norman Rockwell — no easy feat. The visual narrative is spot-on. I’ve got a bone to pick with the captions, though. They don’t do the photos justice. In any big marketing campaign, the images are important, but so is the copy. What would the Nike swoosh be without “JUST DO IT” emblazoned underneath, or the annoying Verizon dude without his signature line, “Can you hear me now? Good.”? The same principle applies to Kim’s Instagram charm offensive.
So I took matters into my own finger pads…
