My number one go-to source for inspiration is branding projects. Flicking through several top quality branding projects can give me all the juice I need to kickstart ideas for a product (I design digital products for creators; fonts, texture packs, illustration packs, etc). They’re also a great way to keep you on your toes with the latest design trends, as they combine many design practices into one. While it’s great to follow your favorite photographer, typographer, and designer to stay inspired, projects like the ones I have listed below combine the best of each into one wholesome package, thus providing you a broader understanding of how these elements work together to create a finished product. I’ll start with one of my all-time favorites. Super simple, yet super effective.
