{ Pinterest }

In my last post I mention a Top Ten List for Designer Resources on the Web. I thought for the next couple of post that I would take a more in depth look at each of my top ten, Number one on my list that  I use as a resource on the world wide web is Pinterest. Pinterest is a great resource for a designer or anyone who loves to explore things on the web. It allows you to look at what other people have posted in hundred of different categories. Some of my favorites to look though are design, art, DIY & Crafts, and photography. These are all really great to look at to spark ideas. The best part about Pinterest is that it allows you to bookmark and  categorize what you're looking at on your boards. You can have numerous boards for all of your passions. My Pinterest has 12 boards all for different aspects of my life, such as a Craft board , Design board, Cooking board, and even a Color scheme board. Pinterest is something I would suggest to any designer, artist or anyone who loves getting ideas from others.

Below I have shared my Pinterest information so that you can follow me. I also posted a couple of photos from Pinterest because I thought for those of you aren't that familiar with Pinterest it could help you better understand everything Pinterest has to offer.

This is what it would look when you search for something, it this instants I was looking up design.It's always good to remember that content on Pinterest is always changing so no search will every be the same as the last. 

Happy Pinning and Posting!!!

Since this blog is about design I decided to share my top ten websites to use when it comes to finding design resources on the web. In the next couple of days I'll go more in depth on each of my top tens. I've linked each designer resource for easy access and to give you a chance to check them out yourself.For now here is my top ten list. Hope this can be just as helpful for you as it's to me.
