Weekly Dashboard Layout
I’m a big fan of simplicity when it comes to productivity tools, which is why I’m such a huge proponent of weekly dashboards. At their core, these kinds of dashboards provide a concise snapshot of your tasks and progress, allowing you to quickly get your bearings and stay focused on what’s important. A basic to-do list, some key performance indicators or trackers, and a space for jotting down notes are all the essentials you need to stay organized and motivated.
And let’s not forget about the aesthetics – I love how simple design elements like clouds and paper planes can add a touch of whimsy to an otherwise straightforward layout.
Paper Plane Themed Weekly Spread
The Instagram feature caught my attention due to its understated yet elegant daily headers, which seamlessly blend simplicity with customization options. The ability to add a pop of color and tailor the design to fit your journal’s aesthetic is incredibly appealing. I’m looking forward to incorporating this style into my next weekly spread.
November Monthly Cover Page
Instagram’s latest monthly cover spread is a masterclass in simplicity and visual storytelling. The striking design features an abundance of negative space, thoughtfully curated to mirror the whimsical paper plane theme. What’s more impressive is how the designer cleverly employs a gradient effect for each letter in the header, while maintaining a consistent grey tone for the mini calendar highlight – a thoughtful touch that adds depth and visual interest.
Monthly Spread With Paper Planes
As I search for theme inspiration, my eyes often land on weekly spreads and cover pages, but I also make it a point to explore monthly spreads.

June Monthly Cover Spread
Instagram’s June monthly cover is a refreshing delight! The light blue hue provides a serene backdrop for the clever design choices. I appreciate how the header and calendar dominate the page, yet still allow for playful doodles to add visual interest. The inclusion of various-sized paper planes ‘flying’ across the spread creates a sense of depth, elevating an otherwise simple layout into something truly engaging.
Paper Plane & Cloud Monthly Spread
While Instagram’s classic blue color scheme is iconic, there’s no rule that says you can’t think outside the box. Consider a pastel-inspired design featuring soft purple and pink hues, as seen in this visually stunning spread. The simplicity of her header and layout create a clean backdrop for the watercolor-style clouds, which are truly breathtaking. For those with a love for watercolors, this aesthetic is sure to spark inspiration.

I’m particularly fond of the Instagram-inspired weekly spread design.

By incorporating these elements, you can easily create your own functional and visually appealing weekly spread.
Mood Tracker With Paper Planes
When crafting an Instagram-themed spread for your planner or journal, a mood tracker is an absolute must-have! To give it a personalized touch, consider adding whimsical cloud doodles in the corners and swapping out paper planes for blue and purple hues that align with your color scheme. The result is a visually appealing and functional layout that reflects your unique style.
Vertical Weekly Layout
The Instagram-inspired color palette is a real showstopper! The seamless transition from one shade to the next creates a visually appealing effect that complements the paper plane theme perfectly. While I typically stick to horizontal layouts in my weekly spreads, this vertical design is sure to impress if you’re a fan of that format. Mark this one for future reference and get ready to shake things up with some fresh color combinations!

The Instagram cover page featured here offers another inspiring monthly design option.

Playlist Tracking Spread
I’m guilty of getting stuck on repeat with my favorite tunes, until I grow tired of them.

This paper plane-themed tracker is an effortless addition to any theme. It features simple song icons and a subtle gray shadow – the perfect combination!

The Instagram-inspired design showcases a clever use of space, as the playful paper plane motif takes center stage.

Similarly, creating a 3D paper plane with just four simple steps is a great way to add visual interest to any spread.

This technique can be easily adapted to other journaling or note-taking systems.

April Weekly Spread
Habit Tracking Layout
When it comes to tracking habits on Instagram, I’m a huge proponent of circular trackers. The end result is always visually stunning, and who can resist the appeal of an ice cream-themed tracker? To make it even more engaging, assign a different shade of pink (or any color) to each habit you’re monitoring. This way, you’ll be motivated to track both your positive and negative habits with ease.
Paper Plane Themed Bujo Tracker
For those who don’t resonate with the traditional circle layout for their habit tracker, there are alternative approaches that might better suit their needs. One such approach is creating a mini-calendar for each habit, allowing users to visualize progress and stay on track. By selecting the habits they want to focus on, setting up a calendar format, and adding some personal flair through doodles, individuals can create a customized tracker that meets their unique preferences.
Light Blue Weekly Spread
I recently came across an Instagram spread that caught my attention – a weekly layout featuring pastel blue and intricate origami doodles. The combination of colors and designs has really inspired me to experiment with different formatting techniques in my own bullet journal. One idea I’m eager to try out is highlighting every other line in a light color to create visual interest. Whatever the outcome, I can already tell that this spread is going to look amazing!

Simple Weekly Spread
Instagram offers a refreshing take on design with its abstract approach. By incorporating paper planes and mixing in a few colors, you can add a dash of decoration to an otherwise basic layout. This concept is particularly appealing if you’re short on time or don’t want to invest hours in drawing everything out. It’s a great way to add some visual interest without going overboard.
August Monthly Spread
When it comes to Instagram design, one of my favorite elements is adding depth with shadows. It’s a trick I’ve used in many previous posts and I always come back to it because it never fails to enhance the overall aesthetic. The clever use of a small goal tracker for the month adds a practical touch, while the warm yellow/gold color palette provides a welcome respite from the typical blue, pink, and purple hues we often see on social media.
