The Chicago sticker launch is accompanied by another feature: personalized selfie stickers that allow users to put a picture of their face over their posts. Because that’s what Instagram needs. More selfies. The illustrators behind the city stickers are Kyle Letendre (@heykyle), Maggie Sichter (@littlepatterns), Jenna Blazevich (@vichcraft), Cristina Vanko (@cristinavanko) and Jesse Hora (@jessehora). When users tap a geotag, they can learn more about the artist behind it and see other posts from that location, as well. (MORE HERE)
I love the art. I do prefer Snapchat though. the idea that Instagram has basically stolen every idea from every other app is frustrating. (vine = instagram video, snapchat = instagram stories, gifs = instagram’s boomerang, periscope = instagram live…) I would also like these stickers much more if the one said “SEARS TOWER” instead. Still I’m not a hater, adding local artists to anything makes even a copy of an app a better thing.
