Pinning From Permalinks
Last week’s “Pinterest for Beginners” round-up set off a flood of requests to show users how to pin from permalinks. And in case you thought “permalink” was just a horrendous typo, this post will help you pin responsibly.
When browsing your favorite sites, especially blogs or forums, you’ll often see a picture that must be pinned.
For instance, on The Boston Globe’s Big Picture blog,...

Ryan Lawrence McGeer: Human Being
I can’t remember when Ryan Lawrance McGreer’s pins starting popping up, but I do remember immediately wanting to know who was behind all the neat book covers, typography, and rad pictures of Diana Ross. Once I hopped over to his profile, it was obvious a pinterview was necessary if, of course, he could take some time between being a freelance designer, blogging, and releasing an album...

Will: Stylist, writer, and blogger
This is bound to be one of the most colorful pinterviews we’ll ever do and we’d expect nothing less from Will of Bright.Bazaar. His blog is an endless scroll of beautiful collages of rooms to-die-for (or DIY-for) and everyday snapshots featuring wonderful design details. And now that he’s got our app, we’re even more excited to see what might show up among his pins.
Hi Will, tell us a...

Ward Jenkins: Artist and illustrator
It’s a big day for us at Pinterest, but forget the app: we wouldn’t have anything to do or talk about if it weren’t for our amazing pinners. So today we’re especially grateful illustrator, artist, and (cross your fingers!) soon-to-be-published author Ward Jenkins took the time to answer a few questions. It’s all you wanted to know about chicken suits, being a professional artist, and how he’s...

New Logo: Design Notes from Michael & Carlos
Last Friday we updated the official Pinterest logo! When first designing Pinterest, we wanted a scripty font to contrast with our boxy pinboards. We chose Bello Script. While we thought it was decent, we’d always been itching for something a bit more distinctive.
To help us out, I contacted Michael Deal. I’ve always LOVED Michael’s work, which ranges from apparel to infographics...

Katie Rodgers: Apparel Designer & Fashion...
If you cruise fashion blogs at all, chances are you’ve seen the illustrations of Katie Rodgers. Whimsical and, lately, very glittery - you can’t miss them and her boards are no exception. So we finally decided to chat with the talent behind some of the prettiest pictures around the web.
First, can you tell us a little about yourself?
Hello! I’m Katie! I once studied Industrial Design at...
