Who Are We? Aegle255's Not So Perfect Pinterest

Aegle255 was based around the health/fitspo community online. Based mostly around Pinterest which is very picture perfect and aspirational to the point of being homogenised and cut and paste engagement photoshoots, wedding invites, all that weird adult stuff.

I started this NewHive page with a nice picture perfect holiday snap from France that would act as background with a screenshot of my Aegle Pinterest profile thing, i kinda wish i had faked a larger follower count for this part to add to the fantasy.

 I made a bunch of fake pins for the NewHive page by taking screenshots of images i had pinned on Aegles profile and adding a few gifs which would be these nice aspirational pretty pins that turn into crappy images of real life, like healthy food turning into junk food or a nice holiday turning into a shitty staycation.

I also wanted to add the most cliche of pinterest cliches the inspirational quote, i made my own version.

I would have liked to have added a few extra pins to make it a bit more cluttered looking but i think it turned out alright.
