Instagram inspiration
Instagram is, in truth, the only social network I bother with. While I’ll dive down the Twitter rabbit hole about once a week, when I’ve got plenty of time, and Facebook’s myriad issues are well documented, Instagram provides a constant stream of inspiration and, well, joy… From travel destinations and delicious design to food, ideas and interiors, these are some of the accounts that bring a smile to my face…
Swiss Type Faces
@swisstypefaces
As a print lover and mad typography fan, Switzerland is the cradle of the modern printing industry (Basel’s type museum is one of the all-time greats, IMHO.) Swiss Type Faces…
Berlinstagram
@berlinstagram
Berlin-based photographer and creative Michael Schulz. Describing himself as having a ‘crush on Asia’, his photos are ALWAYS beautiful and, and will add a little brilliance to the most mundane Mondays. (Or any other day that ends in a ‘y’).
Porthjess
@porthjess
Bristol-based Instagrammer and community manager Jess Siggers brightens up my IG feed on a daily basis with dreamy images of her city, and the work she does to promote it. It was the source of lots of inspiration for our recent visit, and looking forward to heading back this summer, too…
Camille Walala
@camillewalala
London-based French artist who makes building look bright and beautiful. This one’s on the corner of Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch, so we can gaze it from across the road at the Trampery, our favourite London workspot…
Accidentally Wes Anderson
@accidentallywesanderson
Genuinely accidental moments of aesthetic beauty, you can submit your own images to the AWA account with the hashtag #AccidentallyWesAnderson. Pastel-hued, symmetrical and dreamy. What’s not to love?
36 Days of Type
@36daysoftype
An annual campaign that sees people submit beautiful, clever and unexpected typography from an open community of designers, artists and creatives. It’s 36 days — since you ask — because you get 26 glorious days of A-Z, followed by zero to nine. Funny, inventive, colourful and creative, it’s always one of my favourite things in my IG feed…
