If you remember the days of Polyvore, an online platform that allowed its users to create collages of their favorite shopping choices, and mourned its demise, you’ll be glad to hear that a new app essentially resurrected your favorite parts of Polyvore, but also offers so much more. The Landing, a digital platform where you can curate your dream vision board for, well, anything, is slowly gaining momentum. Not only can you visually paste your own mood boards, but you can also “remix” other users’ vision board designs with your own images and features, all of which are displayed on your profile. You can even follow other users, whose boards will be aggregated into your own Landing feed.
Now drawing various features and inspiration from sites such as Polyvore, Pinterest, Tumblr, and more, The Landing is originally a digital and physical interior design company, through which founders Ellie Buckingham and Miri Buckland design and assemble spaces desired by customers. Although the events of 2020 have temporarily halted The Landing’s plans to expand its physical design services, the platform has adapted, leaning into its current state: a digital space to organize your vision board ideas. the most creative and ambitious, with the ability to add not just photos, but visual design elements and products to your creation.
Using The Landing to create and share vision board ideas and collages is extremely intuitive, thanks to The Landing’s user-friendly interface. When you click ‘New Board’ you can choose between portrait or blank landscape orientation, but you can also choose from a selection of pre-made board templates to give your own touch. Once you have chosen your canvas, you can start creating your design using the toolbar on the left of your screen. You can add text and shapes, as well as products and designs that already exist in The Landing to your own board, and you can upload your own images, doodles, etc. By clicking on the “list view” button, you can see a full breakdown of all the products you have included in your design, with external links to purchase them. If you decide to share your design inside or outside of The Landing, you can name and caption your board, categorize and tag it, share a public URL for it, post it to the live stream of The Landing from paintings posted by other users, or upload the image you create just for yourself.
To get inspiration from your own vision board, you can access The Landing’s Live Stream tab, which includes boards from people you follow and public boards. You can also refine the tables you see to reflect certain themes using the tag filters provided at the top of the page. The Featured tab, on the other hand, includes a more curated list of popular boards. On both pages, you will see the option to save the boards you like, as well as the option to “remix” them, allowing you to create your own board based on the current design and layout of the original.
All in all, The Landing offers an aesthetic platform on which to paste and share everything from your 2022 vision board to your favorite beauty products to your favorite books. As you ponder what 2022 looks like for you or your New Year’s resolutions, let your imagination run wild with your very own vision board.
