Top five bookmarks #June
As a design student, I'm always looking for inspirational images and new artists and designers to follow. Surrounding yourself in new pieces of work you like can bring on a whole new aspect to your design. It can make you want to learn something new, push you to better yourself and ultimately help to fuel your own creativity.
I spend a lot of time working on my computer and if I'm not working I'm usually browsing various design blogs looking for new things. These are a few of my favorite inspiration bookmarks, some you may already know, but hopefully you'll find something new to take away.
LogoPond
This is a great resource for amazing logos. Its always great to see how people will portray a company name in a visual form. Fresh, ingenious logos that will definitely help you if you're stuck for inspiration. I would also recommend the "LosLogo" book series.
Behance
Behance is a great place to find bleeding edge talent as well as up and coming people too. Browsing the gallery gives an insight to so many styles of design, you're pretty much guaranteed to find something you like.
Abduzeedo
Abduzeedo is another handy tutorial/interview/inspiration site. Its "Daily Inspiration" article is definitely something to look through everyday when you get the chance. You can always find a new artist or designer to look into through this.
LooksLikeGoodDesign
This is a fairly new one to me but I love the way it works. Simple enough, one picture a day, just keep scrolling to find more and more pieces of innovative design. It uses some clever jQuery so you can literally scroll forever.
Typeish
Typeish is another image bookmarking website. Following the footsteps of "ffffound", "we heart it" and many others, it displays a constant flow of submitted images. It also has a great filter feature that lets you look through art, design, architecture, photography, anything you need really.
