These bright, crisp days are just what we needed aren’t they?
There’s a lot happening at Flourish at the moment which we’re all finding incredibly inspiring. Team promotions, new designers, some very exciting client projects, the launch of the branding masterclass, oh, and the small matter of a nip tuck to the Flourish brand identity (which I’ll share with you soon). Because of all this bright, new stuff, I’m feeling very fired up, very creative and very excited about the future.
I think this lovely, yellow mood board just about sums up our mood right now. Optimistic and inspired. How are you feeling right now?
Recently I’ve been spending 10 minutes at the start of every day on Pinterest. It’s a tip I picked up from Elizabeth Cairns when we were recording a video for the Branding Masterclass; Elizabeth encouraged us to spend time getting into our flow at the start of the working day: doing things that inspire us. For some of you that may be being relaxed, others may like to organise, spend time outside or exercising. For me it’s about being creative. And I’m finding Pinterest the perfect inspiration tool – as long as I limit myself to 10 minutes a day.
What do you do to get into your flow?
Ps the only downside to Pinterest is that it’s incredibly difficult to track back the image sources. None of the above are my images (apart from the colour palette) all via my Spring Optimism Pinterest board
Pintinterest inks back to the original source of the image in both the main area under each image, and also if you click through on the image to the larger image and click on that. In fact, loads of sites are saying that it’s a brilliant way of getting lots of extra traffic. The only ones that are tricky are if the original pinner used something like Google images or uploaded their own image.
Yes I agree Keren. But just try clicking on that top image in Pinterest – links back to someone’s tumblr account that came via 20 or so other blogs – route right back to that and you still have no original source! I guess it depends on how dilligent the original pinner was
Ah, I see what you mean!
