Tonight in portfolio studio our professor said. "you have 30 minutes to 'Pin' what reflects your design style and inspires your senses!" I was super excited to spend our class time on one of my favorite sites, Pinterest! At first I was being too technical with it and went straight to pictures of interiors and architecture, then started to think less literal with pins of art, fashion, sayings and inspiring blurbs. I even went as far as adding humorous pins of Dwight from the office and quotes like "If stress burned calories, I'd be a supermodel". All of these things inspire me, motivate me and are just plain "ME"! They give a glimpse of what my personality is like and my personality and inspirations are what drive my designs. I consider myself to be very eclectic and versatile and I think this board of pins expresses just that.
After we were all done with the exercise we compared and discussed each others boards. My professor described each of our boards in a few words that pretty much summed up our personalities and design styles. Her words to describe mine? Well at first she was at a loss for words saying "Ok... this is just not from here... but not necessarily 'California'..." Then after some thought that translated to "Glamorous and Urban"; I'll take it! :)
I found this exercise to be very informative and showed me why I like certain things and why I design the way I do. I just wish we can incorporate fun time with pinterest in every assignment! But then again lets be real, nothing would get done!
