Savee.it From Ramon Fritsh & André do Amaral. My first stop when art directing. A more pretentious Pinterest. Hunt down and save fantastic design, photography and animation reference.
Raindrop.io From Rustem Mussabekov. Everyone has a favourite bookmark manager, right? This is where I save inspirational work, and art/digital projects I’m later going to rip off.
Meco I’m using newsletters more and more to stay on top of trends and new projects. Meco is an inbox designed just for reading and organising newsletters.
Font Interceptor From mschf. “Borrow” a font to see if it’s the right one for your project by pulling the files from any website. But then you should definitely pay for them if you use them.
Flim A massive archive of film, tv and ad screenshots, with fantastic search. My go-to for tone/lookbook reference.
Eyecandy From Jacobi Mehringer. I think everyone knows eyecandy? But just in case, it’s a brain-melting archive of captured gifs organised by shot type or technique.
Just For Fun From Neal Agarwal. An ever-growing collection of creative css/js projects. Great way to shake up your assumptions on what’s possible on the web.
Doingcoolstuff From Jamie Samman. A directory of inspirational work from design and brand studios. An easy way to find where the bar is in web design.
Arc Browser From The Browser Company. With Arc you can organise tabs in “spaces”, so I can group any research, references and docs by brief and instantly jump between jobs as needed.
