Compilation of Design Inspiration Sources

People's Sites

rsms

This site in particular is inspired by the work of Rasmus Anderson, and his personal site rsms.me. It's built using the Raster CSS grid system, and the Inter font, both by Anderson.

Anderson also was involved in the creation of Figma.

Nathan Wentworth

Reminds me of rsms.me.

Figma

Figma is a "collaborative web application for interface design" (quote). It's main use is for UI/UX design, allowing for rapid prototyping interfaces and such, but it works well as a graphic design tool.

Plugins

Figma allows for plugins to extend its functionality.

Noise and Texture by Rogie King

Noise and texture generates, as the name suggests, noise and texture patterns to give a sense of real-ness to otherwise flat assets.

Duotones by Fabien

black and white to whatever other colour gradient map.

Wow. Check it out.

Individual Fonts

Inter

(at the time of writing) Used for this site. Nice, simple, display-readable.

Other

_why

"_why the lucky stiff"'s work is less of a direct design inspiration and more of a this-is-how-I-want-my-work-perceived inspiration. A genuinely interesting body of work, it's creator and their story.
