Both customers and fella designers ask me where I get my inspiration from while designing iPhone apps, so I thought it’d be great to share some of my inspiration sources with you. Here’s a short list:
- Already mentioned, but worth mentioning again and again: Mari Sheibley’s Mobile UI Patterns
- lovey ui (@hellolovelyui), curated by interactive designer, Diana Frurip, which also featured Daps’em, thanks :)
- Milan Zivkovic’s excellent iOS Inspires Me (@iosinspiresme) - also focuses on app icons and websites
- Overlapps (@overlapps)
- Smashapp (@SmashApp)
- Well-Placed Pixels (@wellplacedpixel)
- Android Interaction Design Patterns
- Landing Pad (@landing_pad)- haven’t been updated for a while
I know, I know, it’s a pretty short list, but most of it features beautifully designed apps and can be not only a source for graphic inspiration, but a source for UI solutions and ideas.
