posted by Anna Chayasatit November 13, 2014

Tumblr makes it incredibly easy for us to find, share and create inspiration. It’s a platform that provides creative publicity and exposure and it’s such a great tool for us as an artist/designer to publish our work or share inspirational images without coding knowledge. There are literally thousands of great, visually-rich blogs around, but here I have selected some of my most favourite Tumblr blogs for you to stir up your hidden creativity.

In alphabetical order:

:: Another Graphic ::

Another Graphic is curated by graphic and web designer Mathieu Cieters, a design talent from Belgium. Despite working as a web designer and developer, it is very surprising to see a vast number of print-based designs featured on his blog. There’s no doubt Another Graphic is a perfect library for digital and print designers alike.
