Size matters!!
PIN design size! . A 600x900 px pin is the way to go, and will give you the best results. Again, head to Canva. They've got the perfect templates that make pin design easy-peasy!
You also want to be mindful of the image quality. If you're using your own photos, make sure they're light, bright, and clear. Nothing is more off-putting than a blurry image. If you're using stock images, don't take screenshots or save off of Google images. Try using stock photo memberships, or free websites like Pexel and Unsplash.
Pin design doesn't have to be hard, it just needs a bit of thought behind it! Like everything, practice makes perfect.
