Are You Pinterested?
August 27, 2010 My name is Carolyn and I am an inspiration junkie. Seriously... what were Jess, Tiffany, and Michelle thinking when they gave me free reign to post anything on the topic of inspiration? I could bore you with a diatribe about all things inspiring, but have decided to be nice (just this once) and share my latest inspiration fix, Pinterest. If you have yet to explore this site, let me pre-warn you to prepare for some serious eye candy, which can lead to hours quickly disappearing. But after the initial excitement, you can utilize Pinterest as a powerful inspiration tool that can swiftly erase writer’s block or creative resistance.
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a social catalog service. Think of it as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can post collections of things you love, and "follow" collections created by people with great taste.
Get Creative + Pin Your Inspiration
- Visual Inspiration Board: create a board for a big goal you are working towards (ex. publishing a book or opening your Etsy store) by curating and pinning images related to that goal found online
- Decorating Inspiration Board: find rooms or images online that inspire a look you want to create in your current space (or dream space)
- No Thank You Board: create a board that combines patterns and colors that you don't want to utilize in your decorating project - knowing what you don't want is a helpful tool!
- Visual Study Board: if you are a visual learner like me find diagrams and images that relate to a topic you are learning (ex. statistics or psychology) and collate those images on one board for a quick memory aid
- Gift Board: create boards for different holidays or for different individuals so you can remember that perfect gift you found in June when Christmas rolls around or your hubbie’s birthday
- Craft Board: create a board for new crafting/DIY projects - you could create a board that combines different examples of one particular craft or a single board with a ton of different watercolor craft ideas so you know just where to go when a particular mood strikes
- Recipe/Foodie Board: create a board for all things food - you could curate images that relate to great dinner recipes you would like to try or restaurants you would like to visit when out on the town (each image links to the original source so you can easily reference all the particulars by clicking on an individual pin)
- Someday Board: organize all those images that you come across that get you thinking, "someday I would like to go there or try that..." so you are prepared when someday arrives!
A few other board ideas: vacation/trip related boards, wedding + party planning boards, blog image boards, graphic design + typography boards
The possibilities for inspiration are truly endless!
