Inspire Your Design – 10 Companies With Good Design in Action

04/22/16

|

Think about what you expose yourself to on a daily basis. Are you allowing yourself to be inspired or have you fallen prey to information overload, causing your mind to disengage – even the creative side?

Our brains were made to absorb information quickly; it only takes a couple seconds for us to form a positive or negative connotation toward a specific image or text. So, rather than spending time scrolling through social media feeds or whatever content pops up on your newsfeed or home page, try making space to get inspired.

Exposing yourself to good design and inspiring content is good practice – it stimulates the creative part of your brain and leads to innovative thinking and new ideas. There is plenty of un-engaging content online; be strategic with your time. If you aren’t, it may cost you brain space and that fresh new idea you needed ten minutes ago.

Not sure where to start? There are plenty of companies practicing good design – check out a few classic examples below to get inspired!

  1. Starbucks
  2. Whole Foods
  3. The Guardian
  4. REI
  5. Panera Bread
  6. Airbnb
  7. Apple
  8. Nike
  9. SquareSpace
  10. Warby Parker

If you’re not convinced good design matters, check out our previous blog post, and then take a moment to think through what you look at each day. Make space to expose yourself to inspiring design and content – it may spark something new and create a breakthrough for your brand!
