I absolutely loved this assignment! Mainly because I love making Pinterest boards I could go for hours. I decided to base my pinterest board off of my course character “Krysta Ghosting”. If you haven’t already here’s a link describing Krysta more in depth
But just a refresh anyway, Krysta is a 21 year old aspiring pastry chef. She is a ghost that coexists in a world with humans. She lives in New Orleans and wants to build her pastry shop right on the busiest street in New Orleans, Bourbon street.
Starting with the “future home” board, Krysta is a very elegant minimal character so I added lots of elegant contemporary style homes that I feel fit Krysta’s minimal aesthetic. These are all aspirations for Krysta, she hasn’t become a pastry chef yet so the homes in this board are only a dream she hopes to achieve in the future.
Moving on to the “hair and self” board in my description of Krysta I mentioned Krysta has long black wavy hair, so I decided to add elegant styles that fit what she looks like and would want to wear at some point. I also added some ghostly aesthetic pictures because that is also a part of who she is.
Next is the “future restaurant” board. I put a lot of New Orleans themed desserts and aesthetics. For example I added a couple of pictures of beignets which is a popular dessert in New Orleans. You will see some pictures of the character “Tiana” from the Disney movie “The Princess and the Frog” , the reasoning behind this is because initially when I was creating Krysta “Tiana” was a huge inspiration for her. In Krysta’s case she has “Tiana” on her board because she identifies with her story a lot.The rest of the photos in the board are of elegant restaurants that Krysta would use inspo for when she builds her own restaurant.
Moving on to the “Fashion” board, Like i have been mentioning Krysta has a very elegant sophisticated sense of style. In this board I put a lot of classy and elegant dresses that she would plan to wear in the grand opening of her pastry shop/restaurant. Throughout all of these boards you will see trinkets of lavender colors because lavender is her favorite color.
Moving on to the “never forget” board these are just quotes Krysta lives by to motivate her to keep pushing towards her future goals. I described Krysta as a highly motivated and intelligent individual so I felt like a board dedicated to quotes and her christian faith and perseverance will show what drives her and is a good add to this part of her.
The last board I added is titled “yoga/lifestyle”. Since Krysta works 2 jobs, bartending at night and cake decorating in the day, I choose to add something that she would indulge in to relieve any stress. I also added bits of nature since that can also relieve stress.
