I've been using Tumblr for a while now to collect my design ideas, colours, new concepts and just awesome things. What's yours?

I use www.acffca.net (it runs on Tumblr) as my inspiration board. Love to inspire others, and it works perfect to start out a moodboard foor specific clientwork.
Olivia Barrett, over 8 years ago Damn! I’m browsing it right now, love your taste. :)
Thanks Olivia. If you like it, and you do, please use it for your next moodboard.

visual/graphic inspiration — http://a-hh.tumblr.com/
industrial design inspiration — http://u-hh.tumblr.com/
I like to take these both in archive view and scan away.

Pinterest for me: http://www.pinterest.com/rnichael/boards/
A much easier way to organise.
I used to do Designspiration: http://designspiration.net/michael/ but found Pinterest to be easier. Although I do feel like a 14 year old girl using it.
Bardan Gauchan, over 8 years ago (edited over 8 years ago ) Haha I feel the same way when I use Pinterest. Worse is when you tell someone not in tech/design that you use Pinterest. I really do want a way to tag and search my pins though. I'm thinking of using Ember for my design research/gatherings but then there's no social feature like in Pinterest.

I do too!
I built http://eeenter.com to improve the browsing experience. opinions?
Joshua Söhn, over 8 years ago
nice but I'll like to have an option to reblog things
Yep, it's planned :)

This is awesome! Tumblr should have this as a default feature.

I don't know, I think it is way too much minimalist. The only I see is the pictures but no explanation. I want to see a picture belongs to which post but I cant. Anyway, good job Pedro.
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to add more functionality & context, but I want to be sure not to clutter it too much.
Looking forward to see more. Keep it up.

At Vox our design and studio teams use a mix of tools to create moodboards. It really just depends on their personal preference.
- Tumblr
- Dropmark
I stick with www.dropmark.com

I believe multidisciplinary inspiration informs and molds the work I actually produce — so I keep that in an ongoing stream instead of boards. Although this functionality is possible on Tumblr, I like the control of having my own HTML pages: http://visualarchiv.es.

I tried Tumblr for a bit for design inspiration/ideas, but found it hard to search and group things visually. I turned to Pinterest instead a couple years ago, and it's worked really well.
I have one going for digital design: http://www.pinterest.com/matthanns/interactive/
And one for colours, patterns, & visual styles: http://www.pinterest.com/matthanns/visual-methods/

I gather inspiration at mine, but not much design stuff. Lots of menswear and lifestyle stuff.
