I resisted the encouragement of my teacher to use Pinterest at first. I'd been on it before and only saw cakes, wedding dresses and recipes but I also noted the useful ability to create seperate 'boards' that you can 'Pin' any image on the internet to. I realised that this feature alone could be used to collate visual research images from the internet. So I made an account an a board for our current theme; Light.
I instantly started pinning my artist research to the Light board. Research was easy as I could pull images together, give them a breif description with dates, titles and artist info. I could then view them all visually and together in one big stream. I've then been pulling the images from Pinterest over here to Blogger to do more in-depth research.
I've been calling Pinterest my digital scrapbook, because that's what I've been using it for, rather than a social network to share my favorite wedding dresses on.
