5 Creative Instagrams for Inspiration

by Margaret Penney | November 3, 2016


Instagram is a phenomenal place for creative inspiration in graphic design, fashion, illustration, surface pattern design, typography, photography and more. The entirely visual format allows for creatives to share visual stories and vignettes from their imaginative lives quite easily. It’s easy to be quickly inspired by creatives all over the world and in a variety of fields by simply scrolling through your Instagram feed.

What’s particularly nice is the ability to follow promising designers and studios just starting out–people creating fresh and of the moment work. It’s also quite fun to see what kinds of visual experiments and ‘outtakes’ creatives will share, sometimes these are the most interesting finds. Included here are some Instagrams that are entirely inspirational and creative. Enjoy!
