Webdesign or interface design in general, do you have any favorite places you go back to for help with this whole "make it look good" part of making things? (If you're tasked to do that)
I brought this up in another thread:
But felt like it's worth its own question. Feel free to drop a comment in Nadine's thread as well. π

When tackling a specific problem, I generally use google images search to fill up my eyes with the "right" UI/UX.
But I'm sure our UI/UX experts @ayman97 at Coretabs Academy would have a better comment here π
I think if you're on the internet a lot, you end up absorbing different sorts of content and then you know what to use as inspiration when you want it. Eg. my website and my blog are inspired from pretty different places. The former can be compared to Google's Material Design while the latter looks straight out of a LaTeX theme.
I am not a designer. To get a perspective on how other people are solving a certain problem. I like to glance at dribble for inspiration. There's always something new and fascinating, that would inspire you.
stripe.com/gb (holy grail)
apple.com/mac-pro/ (especially on a mac)
I usually look for unusual/parallel inspiration. Like looking at magazine layouts for website design ideas, or at architectural design for print page layout ideas.
I am not a designer but for personal projects material.io/.
Definitively Dribble, I cannot count How many time I had an inspiration burst after browsing the awesomeness of designer sharing their work on this platform!
I like to use uplabs, dribble and google images for UI/UX inspiration c:
Dribble and uplabs.com/

I generally use dribbble, and some specifc sites for UI/UX screenshots like these:
mobbin.design/
webframe.xyz/
collectui.com/
And lastly i also analyze some other relevant sites to learn from them.
It's great you shared this Ben, it is good to have a common entry to share resources. My thread was more about therapy hahaha.
Dribbble and Behance where most of my inspirations come from. The last place I would check is awwward's site and Muzli Medium Blog (medium.muz.li/)
Dribbble's my usual go-to, but like others have said looking at what other sites are doing is huge too.
I'm constantly thinking about things I like/don't like about random Login forms I come across, for example. If something particularly stands out to me, then I like to dig into the Inspector to see how they did it.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion here, coming from a designer who already knows how trends works, but anyway I'm going to copy & paste part of my comment in Nadine's post:
I just put my comment from a similar discussion here π
I'll answer this myself π
