Breast cancer has become an international awareness of which happen annually in October. With so many foundations, organizations to companies trying to support the cause of Support Pink, I found some best artwork in graphic design and multimedia that deliver the message and ideas. Though, since the Support Pink campaign is not limited to the organizations, I also have seen individuals supporting this cause by changing their profile picture to something pink and with the little pink ribbon on it.

Pin Favorites Digitally: Pinterest

Ari Krzyzek — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:24:25 +0000

Few decades ago, I would create a scrapbook full of many clips, pictures, and other stuff I daily found interesting. Today, in this digital era, I barely have time to do that. I tried bookmark, but sometimes don’t you just hate it when a line of web address with a short description on it just doesn’t help. Well, this may sounds a bit late, but try new method: online scrapbooking.

I found Pinterest a few years, though it’s by invitation only and I waited a while for the invitation. I have forgotten about it until couple months ago a friend of mine invited me in to collect some wedding ideas on Pinterest. It’s basically a digital collection of your own. Pin anything you like, from clothes to genius kitchen tools that caught your eyes. For most people, they pin anything, everything. I personally use it like most people do. From weddings to design ideas.

What’s best on this concept is that you don’t really have to keep adding your browser’s bookmark to keep some images or articles you like online. Pin it! It will be much easier. I have found it really useful to collect all my favorites digital articles, fashion styles/lookbook, wedding ideas, even to favorites typography artworks. Therefor, I recommend you give it a try as well.

If you’re interested on joining Pinterest and find it will be useful, feel free to contact me and I will send you an invitation for Pinterest.com :)
