I recently hit a wall during a project and I was looking for inspiration as well as just an outlet for creativity when I stumbled across this website, Thinkdesignblog.com. I was impressed with the diversity of designs, mediums, artists and "freebees" they had. The first page has several different "inspiration" posts for prints, graphic design and web design, there are also artist interviews and some some fun textures that you can download. I struggle with finding an interesting textures but I was able to find a few that I liked and will be able to use in the future whether it is for graphic design or photography.
Simply flipping through the different posts help relieve the creative block I had and it also helped bring about different ideas that what I had not previously considered. I think that it is a neat little tool for remembering all the design options out there, or at least a pleasant break from a current project.
(P.S. Though there are some cool stuff on the page face, the goodies are in the archives so be sure to browse there!)
Always good to find good free fonts and textures. Lot's of cool stuff here. I was especially inspired by the illustration work of Daniel Swartz in the inspiration section.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool website! I agree with Stephen and Tucker about all the free stuff. I will definitely be using this blog in the future. The site itself is really cool looking. I love the 3D effect of the leather and wood at the top of the blog page.
ReplyDeleteWow such a cool website, I love the interview of Anthony Neil Dart . It's cool to see his art, and then read about him.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good resource! I particularly liked the real textures (the play dough texture was fun : ), and the "cool and useful dingbat fonts"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great resource! Thanks for sharing. This site is put together really well. Looks clean and professional. I love there use of background textures
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of variety on the site. it looks like pretty cool stuff that i'm sure will come in handy one day.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely being added to my collection. If anyone tells you they can't find inspiration, hit them and tell them, 'There you go, some anger to get your creativity going.' Inspiration is everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
