Behind the feature: Inspiration that doesn't lose its origin

When starting a new design project, laying out a clear creative direction is key. Moodboards are an essential part of this process—pulling together images, colors, typography, and other references to visualize the path forward. But the process of gathering inspiration is often clunky. Copying and pasting visuals into folders or design tools strips away valuable context and eats up time better spent creating. At Dropmark, we believe designers should spend less time managing assets and more time building a cohesive vision, which includes staying connected to where your ideas came from.

No downloads, no problems. Build killer (and smart) mood boards straight from the web. One of our favorite ways to collect inspiration is by using the Dropmark web extension. Grab an image, take a screenshot, or save the entire page itself as a reference for later. In most instances, Dropmark will display the site right in your collection, further reducing the friction of jumping in between tasks and minimizing distractions.

You can also rest assured that your mood boards will be beautiful. Dropmark’s minimal UI lets your vision shine. With a variety of views available, you can choose a display to match the mood.

Having a reference of data-rich material means that you can go back to those particularly inspiring pieces and discover new directions from proven resources by going back straight to the source.

And finally, when it’s time to share, collaboration options with Dropmark are super simple to use. Choose collaborators to join and add to your collection and change who has access to view the collection all in one place.

Now go out there and make something beautiful 🥲
