In addition to already mentioned sources like Pinterest, Dribbble, and Behance, I find inspiration in projects that have already been executed😉
Great repositories of such work can be found in curated catalogs like https://www.awwwards.com/websites/ and https://www.curated.design/
Design inspiration is everywhere! One of my favorite go-to resources is Pinterest. It's a visual smorgasbord of design inspiration, with endless boards and pins to spark your creativity.
@antonikozelski Same mate! It's like a bottomless pit of creativity and ideas just waiting to be discovered. Whether you're looking for sleek modern designs or vintage classics, Pinterest has it all. Just be warned, once you start scrolling, it's hard to stop! 💪🎨
My design inspiration mostly comes from research. First, I always check Behance to find new trends. Later, I go over Dribbble to see what designers are creating lately. Additionally, I have a few design books that I refer to whenever I experience a bout of inspiration blockage
I read a book which guides how to get the inspiration. And it instructs that:
- Observe everything around you: a tree, leaf, flower,...
- Find it on the other platform like: Pinterest, Dribble, Freepik,...
I use Dibbble, Pinterest and Google Image Search a lot because it's easy to find what you're looking for. But then there are other sites like TailwindUI (i use TailwindCSS a lot), One Page Love, Landbook... where you have a collection of nice things, but have to put a little bit more work in if you want to find something specific.
Hi Sveta!
I'm a UX designer and the important lesson that I've learned over these years is that
the best source of inspiration is using successful products and paying attention to them so deeply.
For example: How LinkedIn shows their cards, what is different between their cards and IG cards? What is the navigation hierarchy, How did they manage the responsive navigation, etc...
If you like we can have a session and I can explain how this works with more details.
Back then Dribbble used to be a good source for showcasing what's possible with design tools and it was for designers bragging to themselves, not for the sake of product development! There was around 1% practicality in those designs. Now it's not even that.
Muzli weekly inspirations and a personal database with all visuals I liked. I eventually go in these folders to find inspiration. When I don't, I mainly go on dribbble.
Wow I love everyones answer on this. I personally try to get inspired by anything that is visually appealing to me, as I am handling our products UI/UX I sometimes look ad appealing food plates from social media and try to get inspired by colors and shapes.
