By The sheer talent and creativity that people exhibit on social media is mind-boggling. It’s no wonder why when scrolling through our social media accounts, we gain so much daily knowledge and inspiration.
Now there is nothing wrong with seeking inspiration. Many times people associate ‘inspiration’ with ‘cheating’ but that’s not true. Many times we get stuck in a rut and by exploring, we get to see amazing things that leave an impression and get our creative juices flowing.
So just to give you a gentle nudge in the right direction, here are our top seven social media accounts you need to check out ASAP and get some inspiration:

2. Graphic Design Central
You know it’s a quality Insta account if it has over 400K followers. This is a great page to not just check out amazing content, but also get featured if they like your work, of course. Their posts are a stunning collection of everyday designs that are bound to impress you.
3. Rachel Ryle
Channeling the power of animation, illustrations, and storytelling, Ryle’s feed combines all three beautifully. Every post that she publishes is smart, aesthetic, and frankly, mesmerizing.
