Pinterest is a sort of social network, but on it, people share ideas in the form of pictures, tutorials, recipes, and more. You can create pinboards and pin on them any idea that you find interesting, so you can come back to it later. The goal of Pinterest is to share ideas.
Scrolling is the way everyone uses the platform. Open it, enter a keyword for your search, and scroll down the page through all the results. You may end up spending a couple of minutes scrolling, encountering a picture of a room that seems like one that you had envisaged, tap save, and continue.
Quite surprisingly, this way of working is incredibly effective. You begin with one interest — perhaps DIY furniture or rainy day clothes — and the app begins serving up more images that jibe with that type of mood. You save the ones that catch your eye, and gradually your board comes into being.
Perhaps you will open another board to keep your inspiration for the garden. Or one for healthy meals. One does not need to share them. No one rates your pins. There is no number of followers that you have to create. It is only you and your ideas materialising in pictures.
Pinterest is not only for hobbies. It’s useful in everyday ways. Planning what to cook. Coming up with ideas for kids’ birthday parties. Finding a scouting outfit for an upcoming event. Organizing visual reference for your next design project.
Not only people, even businesses use it to plan the aesthetics of their products, or to seek some inspiration when it comes to branding. Since each pin is a return to a website, it is not just a gallery; it is a place to jump off from. If something catches your attention, then you can always find it back in some recipes, tutorials, or online stores.
In a world that is obsessed with fast content, Pinterest provides you with a slower space where you can shape what you think through the visual medium. Downloading Pinterest is to give yourself a creative tool that develops with respect to what you’re interested in, providing serenity rather than noise.
