My Design Inspiration Sources

Every designer hits a creative block now and then. When it happens to me, I turn to my curated list—and almost every time, new ideas start flowing.

Introduction

We've all been there: staring at a blank screen, waiting for inspiration to strike. As a designer (and developer), I often find myself in need of fresh ideas. Sometimes a walk outside does the job, but other times that doesn't work. Over the years, I've compiled a list of go-to sources that never fail to spark new ideas.

Visuelle.

Visuelle is an amazing resource for modern, trendy, and clean designs. Though the designs featured are a certain style, they are always well-executed and often push the boundaries of what's possible in web design. I love browsing through their collection when I need a dose of inspiration.

Minimal Gallery is (as the name suggests) a collection of minimalistic designs. The site features a wide range of projects, from web design to product design, all showcasing the beauty of simplicity.

Visual Journal

Visual Journal is a personal favorite of mine. It's created by Alessandro Scarpellini, an art director and design manager from Italy. It's his blog where he showcases the finest branding from around the world.

Tino Nyman

Tino Nyman is my favorite designer, and the one I look up to the most. He's a Helsinki-based designer focused on creative direction and graphic design. When I look at his work, I am always amazed at how he manages to combine simplicity with boldness. His designs are always striking and memorable.
