dribbble is kinda dead in terms of engagement so I've been mostly on twitter for the past 1.5 - 2 years.

Pinterest, am I old school :D
I love consuming and melting ideas from different type of sources
Products. I am looking for products in different areas (to avoid just copying analogues). Mostly trying to learn how they make me feel and what feeling I want to pass to my users
Behance and dribble. Searching high-level concepts. But with them I have to be aware that some staff could be too theoretical and won’t work in product.
Product Hunt. Here I am trying to get a big picture on trends. Staff that resonates and etc.
Dribbble and community/browse other designs that can be copied in apps like Figma, Canva.
I have also used graphicriver a lot in the past to find design elements or just get some inspiration.
You can also play around a bit with Midjourney and see what it thinks of when you say certain words or phrases.

First step, get design content ready with help of ChatGPT
Next, I just look for some good templates which may help me get my project done faster and then look for some samples around. Combining all these I can give my best in all design projects!

Finding inspiration for design projects can come from various sources and methods. I look for inspiration in diverse sources such as nature, art, architecture, and everyday life and explore design blogs, attend conferences, collaborate with others, and stay curious.
Brainstorming sessions: Discussing project goals and inspirations with designers, users, or other stakeholders can lead to unexpected ideas and fresh perspectives.
Where do you usually find your design inspiration? I personally find inspiration by exploring various mediums of art, like photography and painting. I also enjoy researching current design trends and drawing inspiration from nature and architecture. Additionally, I highly recommend checking out platforms like Behance and Dribbble for discovering innovative design work.
Exploring art and other creative disciplines: From architecture and photography to fashion and music, other creative fields offer unique perspectives and can spark unexpected connections for design solutions.
Books, especially those with rich visuals or unique layouts, are my go-to.
Browsing design platforms: Behance, Dribbble, Pinterest, and other platforms showcase a massive spectrum of design styles and elements. Immersing myself in these platforms exposes me to trends, color palettes, layouts, and more.
