Breaking Out Of The Box: Design Inspiration (June 2016)

by TBSCategories: News

There’s no doubt that simple design is hard, since it requires much more thought and inspiration. It’s about understanding exactly what your users need. Colors play a major role, and today I’d like to show you a couple of illustrations that may motivate you to try out some new color combinations and techniques.

Take a look at the following photographs, posters and book covers that have been created with some really inspiring shades and color palettes, and some even show how to cleverly use negative space. From 3D illustrations to artwork created with ink and watercolors, I’m sure there’s something that’ll spark your inspiration. Be warned though, some of them may even give you wanderlust from just looking at them.

Delightful Bits Of Vintage Graphic Design Inspiration

by TBSCategories: News

Vintage design is an endless source of inspiration. Seeing how fellow designers tackled their job decades ago, with a limited set of tools, and how timeless, even classic, some of the pieces are still today, is fascinating.

With this Quick Tip, we want to leave behind current trends and indulge in the aesthetic of past times. We’ll dive into wanderlust-awaking travel posters, design manuals that wrote history, and, last but not least, we’ll bridge the gap to today by looking at how a mid-century design movement still influences designers. Buckle up… and off we are to a journey through pre-Photoshop, pre-Sketch and -Illustrator times!

20 Beautiful Dark UI Concepts for Design Inspiration

by TBSCategories: News

A lot has been spoken of light user interface elements and they have been showcased widely either as concepts of working products over the years, but what about their dark counterparts? We have some equally good or even better user interface elements in dark colours, but in general we do not opt for them for our projects.

So, in this article we will be showcasing some of the most beautiful examples of dark UI design that we have on the Internet posted either as concepts or working apps.

Dark UI Examples

YouTube Dark

This is a dark UI of YouTube with eye-popping colours and sleek UI elements.

Dark Analytics UI

DJ Rig

Sales Dashboard

How about a clean and modern looking sales dashboard in dark UI?

Fitness App

Did anyone think a fitness app could look this beautiful in dark UI?

Equalizer

This is a perfect example of how simple things such as an equalizer could be spiced up with dark UI elements.

Have you ever seen a dark map? Well, here’s one and it looks amazing.

Music App

This is a very simply and elegantly designed music app in dark UI. A perfect example of how a clean dark UI could give your app the extra edge.

Photo Editor App

This is an online photo editor app designed in dark UI to make the main content, i.e., the photos stand out pretty well.

Travel Notes App

Dark UI doesn’t necessarily have to be fully dark. It can be a combination of both light and dark elements too, and that gives stunning results as well.

Mail App

This is a redesign of a mail app in using a combination of dark and light UI elements and it looks fantastic.

Conclusion

Dark UI, when nicely done can outshine even some of the best light UI designs and when combined with a few light elements, the work results in a design that can makes users drop their jaw in awe.

So, if you are thinking of redesigning your app or creating something new, consider having a draft in dark UI and see how it looks, maybe it will be something you will fall in love with and so will your users and clients, and these examples prove that fact.
