Inspiration on Instagram | Basketball Toons by Vanila Lab

Not only do these aswesome fictional basketball team illustrations, by design studio Vanila Lab, take me back to the cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid, it also reminds about how I would fill the back of my homework books with doodles of logos, mascots, cars, people in class and "cool" inventions. Not much has changed really..!

Illustrated Icons by Every_Hey + Weekend Links

After what seems like a fairly stressful week all I want to do is share something that simply made me smile. Have you seen Hey Studio's Every_Hey account on Instagram?! If you haven't you really should! It's square-after-square of beautifully minimal illustrations of well known film, music, TV, gaming and cultural icons.

They're just straight up ace. And so are Saturdays. I'm going to get into the new copy of Umbrella magazine with a big ol' coffee - no more plans! Enjoy your weekend.

Inspiration On Instagram | Abstract Architecture by Ingo

Instagram has became one of our main place to go to for inspiration - of any kind. Fitness, diet (I mean eating healthy, not eating less), travel destinations, up-and-coming brands, graphic designers, makers...It's all there.

Design catches my eye, more than most other posts. Although, the more I climb, the more climbing photos start to take my fancy. Ingo is an account that posts conceptual design images based around achitecture + structure. The theme is great - light blues, curved lines and sharpe angles. It's very Miami Vice City. I'm sure some of Mat's holiday snaps look just as colourful.

There's some familiar looking shapes in there too though. I swear I've seen glimpses of Vauxhall bus station, The Barbican Centre, and some of the newer buildings in Clapham creeping in.

Take a look at their account and send us any other design-related users you think we'll enjoy. Nik.
