I routinely build collages that inform, inspire and delight the eye and fuel my own creative process. Recently, I went over to the new website, <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest <\/a>and began to explore. What I have found, to my delight, is that it becomes a great digital mood board. As I surf the web, I simply hit a little button on my browser and &#8220;pin it&#8221;, select a photo from the page I&#8217;m looking at and it gets uploaded to one of Pinterest boards. \u00a0I can quickly collect visual information from dozens of sources, edit and arrange it into logical groupings, annotate the uploads and share them with my friends. \u00a0You can even upload your own images. \u00a0I recently started to collect images of <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/davinadevine\/assiut-assuit-tulle-bi-telli\/\" target=\"_blank\">Assiut\/Assuit<\/a> as I&#8217;ve been working on my new book.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m an avid magazine reader, and I&#8217;ve noticed that magazine editors, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/ninagarcia\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nina Garcia<\/a> and fashion bloggers such as Erica over at &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/psimadethis\/\" target=\"_blank\">PS I Made This<\/a>,&#8221; have started adding some really well edited and useful content. \u00a0I&#8217;ve cruised this site and have found people planning weddings, decorating their homes or simply day dreaming about their dream wardrobe. \u00a0It&#8217;s fun, inspirational and easy to use. \u00a0 Check it out!<\/p>\n<p>~ Dawn<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/davinadevine\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Pinterest Profile\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1754\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1754\" style=\"width: 432px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1754\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2012\/02\/pinterest-hot-new-tool-for-designers\/pinterestscreenshot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PinterestScreenShot.png?fit=432%2C271&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"432,271\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PinterestScreenShot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;My Pinterest profile&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PinterestScreenShot.png?fit=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PinterestScreenShot.png?fit=432%2C271&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1754 \" title=\"PinterestScreenShot\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/PinterestScreenShot.png?resize=432%2C271&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screenshot of my Pinterest profile\" width=\"432\" height=\"271\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Pinterest profile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2012\/02\/pinterest-hot-new-tool-for-designers\/\"><img width=\"116\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Screen-shot-2012-02-02-at-11.18.43-AM1.png?fit=116%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-attachment-id=\"1764\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2012\/02\/pinterest-hot-new-tool-for-designers\/screen-shot-2012-02-02-at-11-18-43-am-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Screen-shot-2012-02-02-at-11.18.43-AM1.png?fit=236%2C304&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"236,304\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen shot 2012-02-02 at 11.18.43 AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;One of my pin boards on the Pinterest website&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Screen-shot-2012-02-02-at-11.18.43-AM1.png?fit=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Screen-shot-2012-02-02-at-11.18.43-AM1.png?fit=236%2C304&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><p>Pinterest Hot New Tool for Designers One of my favorite design tools is the mood board or inspiration board.
