As with our profiles, we were very intentional in selecting our subjects. The “messages” each interviewee articulates can be explained to the following: Instagram as a design platform, Instagram as personal branding and company-based representation, Instagram as social connection, and lack of Instagram usage. Lily, the first interviewee, utilizes Instagram as a social connection platform, perhaps the most traditional usage of the website. While Kate, the second interviewee, utilizes Instagram as an opportunity to practice and showcase her design skills. This diversity of purpose behind the social media platform provides articulate, introspective, and perhaps most importantly diverse understandings of how the platform operates in a person’s day to day life.
