Hello is a social network focused on artists and creators of graphic content, its operation is similar to that of Pinterest, but its main objective is to create a global community and connect artists from different disciplines with each other. Ello was founded in 2013 by a group of artists and designers who tried to create a platform focused on art and design.
The purpose of Hello is to reverse the situation of other visual content platforms (such as Pinterest or Instagram), follow artists and seek to provide a forum and a virtual workspace where artists, brands, agencies and advertisers can meet, collaborate and connect with the public. The platform can be used on desktop and mobile browsers. Creating an account is very simple as you only need to register a username and password.
When you create an account, you will receive a verification email, and when you first enter the platform, you will be asked a series of questions about the user's tastes and preferences. It uses these questions to optimize and personalize the content that is displayed in the body of the users' feed..
It is a simple social network that is operated by "pins" and has a simple and attractive interface in black and white, reminiscent of the original Instagram interface, but its interactive system imitates Twitter, since each image has an option Comment, Repost, and then another heart-shaped icon shows a Like. Since it does not have ads of any kind, it is very intuitive and easy to use, so all the content displayed is organic.
Among the functions available to users, you can create or upload your own content, or you can "collaborate" with other users. This is a unique feature of Ello that allows half of the content to be created with other artists on the platform. In this way, two different modal creators can come together to create unique works of art, such as painters and musicians, they can create melody-inspired paintings and record the creative process at the same time.
From a non-artistic perspective, This also offers the possibility of contacting a creator and hiring him to carry out a project.. In addition, social networks have a unique feature called "creative summaries", which is a thematic category that is open for a limited time and users can share their content so that they appear in it when they are visible. Finally, it has a section called "Art Giveaways" where creators can share and give away some works.
