There’s no doubt that walking around the city, strolling along the beach and seeing the sceneries of the country and the mountains are activities that spark inspiration, but it is also true that in our accelerated lives we hardly have time for them.
One of the most useful practices to gain inspiration is to resort to visual resources such as magazines, brochures, portfolios and picture galleries, to mention just a few. Images communicate feelings and ideas, they are the form of communication that we have genetically recorded in our DNA for thousands of years.
Internet provides an infinite image bank in just a couple of clicks. Nevertheless, sometimes it may take too much time to find that particular website that gives us exactly the kind of inspiration we are looking for, especially when we are searching for infant style and trends resources. This is the reason why at Minicool we made a selection of the top 10 websites in this category that will spark your inspiration, as well as work as references in your creative process.
