I'm Really Not Complaining OR What I pinned to win

Submitted by Student on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 12:07am

There ought to be a disclaimer on this post: My email had carried a Pinterest contest advisory in early January. It was all about textiles.

Between the sheer number of social networks and the "more is better" approach, many websites are literally stuffed full of these not so subtle marketing ploys. Until now, most designers (including myself) assumed that including them would naturally lead to more sharing of content.
