Looking for recommendations for a design inspiration app

January 19, 2015 1:35 AM

I'm hunting for an app (ideally on iPad) that offers you a curated, regularly-updated feed of images of great design, for a daily dose of inspiration. The content can be drawn from pretty much any source: advertising, photography, web design, home decor, whatever. DesignScene used to do a pretty good job of this a few years back, but unfortunately got discontinued. Any ideas, guys?

Can't link to it at the moment but Design Milk has an app called Curator that you might enjoy.

I like Houzz.

Here's a quick Tumblr search; you may not know the curator, but it can be inspirational. The syntax is:
http://www.tumblr.com/search/furniture+cardboard or any other keywords

Flipboard was made for this. There are feeds from various magazines & websites that you can choose, or pick from various premade topics. There were lots of great design-oriented options the last time I used it.

Seconding Flipboard. Here is a tiny sample of "magazines" you can pick from.

Here's a specific example of a web and graphic design themed magazine to show you the what the Flipboard interface feels like in case you've never seen it.
