The Shift in Design Inspiration Platforms

The conversation highlights how design inspiration platforms, like Dribbble, have shifted in focus over time. Initially, these sites served as vibrant communities showcasing creative works, but they have become more job-oriented, diluting their inspirational essence. This change has made it challenging for designers to find fresh, innovative ideas for mundane elements like menus or footers, often resulting in irrelevant search results. The speakers express a desire for a return to more curated and artistic showcases, emphasizing the need for better categorization of design patterns.
