Curated tools, resources, tips & inspiration for creative work

If you’ve been designing for a while, you already know how much a good mockup can change the whole vibe of a project. The right scene makes your concept feel real, believable, and ten times easier for clients to understand. But with so many platforms around, figuring out where to…

If you look at how color has been evolving over the last few years, one thing becomes very clear: trends are getting quieter, deeper, and more meaningful. Color in 2026 isn’t just about what looks good on a moodboard - it’s about what makes people feel grounded, restored, curious…

Presenting your work is almost as important as creating the design itself. It is a skill every designer eventually needs, even though it rarely comes naturally from the start. For many people this part feels harder than the actual design process. Some worry about speaking in fron…

The way people connect with brands has changed a lot. It’s no longer just about good-looking visuals or smart advertising. Now it’s about meaning. In 2026, people are drawn to brands that feel genuine, act with purpose, and tell real stories. Here are some of the key shifts shap…

If you work at an agency, you know the game - fast turnarounds, endless decks, and the constant need to make ideas look like they already exist. It’s not just about design anymore; it’s about selling vision. That’s where mockups quietly do their magic. They’re not just there to…

It’s always good to have a few go-to mockups ready. The kind that make your design look clean, real, and ready to show. We’ve pulled together ten free iPhone mockups that do exactly that. Most of them from our own studio, Wannathis, along with a few from other creators. Whether…

Typography is shifting fast. Every year, new tools, new screens, and new aesthetics shape how we read and feel design - and 2026 already looks bold, animated, and a little experimental. Fonts aren’t just fonts anymore; they’re becoming characters in their own right. We’re seeing…

If you’ve ever looked for mockups online, you’ve probably seen Placeit pop up everywhere. It’s huge, with thousands of ready-to-use templates for literally anything: t-shirts, mugs, YouTube intros, you name it. And if you’ve explored studios like Wannathis.one (that’s us), you…

Flat screens can only show so much. Once you drop your design into a real space - on a desk, next to a laptop, maybe with a bit of sunlight in the corner - it starts to feel different. More real, more grounded, like something people actually use. That’s why interior mockups work…

For years, most of us bought design assets one by one - a mockup here, a 3D icon there, maybe a texture pack when a project called for it. It worked, but it also meant a lot of time comparing, downloading, and managing files you’d probably only use once. Now the way designers wo…

Every year, UI design shifts just enough to make last year’s work feel a little dated. 2026 is shaping up to be no different. From color choices to the way screens move, small details will set the tone for what feels fresh - and what feels stuck in 2025. We’ve pulled together to…

There’s something different about seeing an app on a real screen, in someone’s hand. A flat screenshot can look clean, but it often feels like it’s floating in space. Put the same design inside a device mockup - held naturally, in the middle of everyday life - and suddenly it cli…

AI isn’t just another buzzword anymore - it’s become part of the everyday toolkit for many designers. From generating quick drafts to helping with color palettes, layouts, and even whole design concepts, it’s shifting how creative work gets done. Some people find that exciting,…

Outdoor design really lives in the city. Billboards hanging over busy streets, posters on textured walls, glowing screens next to storefronts - they all shape how people meet design in everyday life. A flat presentation can’t capture that feeling, but the right mockup makes it re…

Here’s the thing: design itself matters a lot, but how you show it can make or break the way people react to it. You can spend hours polishing details, picking typefaces, or adjusting grids, but if you just drop the result on a plain background, it rarely gets the reaction it des…

Mockups are everywhere and they’ve become a must-have for designers who want to present their work in the best way. When you start searching online, you’ll notice two main types of resources: small studios that craft their own collections and share a few freebies, and big aggrega…

As designers, we know how much difference the right mockup can make - sometimes it’s the little details that bring a design to life. That’s why we’ve put together this collection of some of the best iPhone mockups out there, including a few from our own studio, Wannathis. In th…

Great design deserves a great setting. It’s not just what you’re showing - it’s how you show it. A well-chosen MacBook mockup can bring out the best in your work, whether it’s a website, an app, or a full visual identity. In this article, we’ve gathered 12 of the best premium Ma…

Mockups have quietly become one of the most powerful tools in a designer’s workflow. Whether you're presenting an app, showcasing branding, or building your portfolio, a good mockup adds polish and clarity to your work. There are dozens of platforms offering mockups, but this lis…

Figma plugins can do a lot. Some help speed up the workflow, others bring in visuals or polish that would take ages to build from scratch. The right mix can make a noticeable difference, especially when working under deadlines or switching between multiple projects. Here’s a col…
