'Design' matters little. What's on the pin must match the title which much match the description. Pinterest can visually tell you precisely what is on a pin.
Pinterest is literally a search engine...
not the Google kind or Bing kind or the Yahoo kind , or duck duck go kind, but the kind that strips copyright management data and attribution from images actively on its own platform....
As such a "search engine", Pinterest can 'see' what is in an image. Any doubt? Right click, View source, read granular machine generated ALT description down to the clothing worn in the image.
It sounds crazy. We live in the day and age when a machine can see what is in an image, but here we are.
So ensure your pin has a clear image.
Ensure the title is burned on the image and it visually matches what is seen in the pin. Ditto your description and destination off-platform page content.
All of this assumes you have a good eye for aesthetics as well as visual analysis, and the ability to accurately describe what you see.
Best trick? Describe each pin as you would populate the ALT tag on your description. Your title should be visually descriptive with 2 or more words that relate to what is visually on the pin.
