Create a single vertical Pinterest image (1000 × 1500) showing a DIY painter struggling to cut in cleanly along a ceiling or corner. Scene: Interior room mid-paint. Close-up of a hand holding a brush with uneven, wobbly cut-in lines along the ceiling edge. Slight paint overlap onto the ceiling. Arm position looks awkward and tense. A mini roller sits unused nearby. No face visible. Environment: Everyday home interior. Neutral wall colour. Natural daylight. Realistic, imperfect DIY moment. Heading (large, bold, top third): “Why Cutting In Feels Harder Than It Should” Tagline (small, bottom of image): “It’s not just your technique.” Composition Notes: Tight framing to emphasise the edge detail Clear visibility of the messy line Negative space preserved for text clarity Mobile-first readability Strict Rules: No logos No prices No perfect edges No ladders or platforms visible One image only (no collage) Style: Photorealistic. Honest. Validating rather than instructional. Purpose: High save intent from frustrated DIY painters. Reframes self-blame and naturally leads to better brushes, rollers, and prep tools without naming products. See more
