Internet Archive is one of the best wells of inspiration. It also has the worst UI imaginable. Let's ungatekeep it. The most important thing about the Internet Archive isn't how you search, it's how you think. You basically just want to get lost in the online version of the library of Alexandria. You can always search for whatever you need, but expect to stumble on better things along the way. A fair warning though, the archive doesn't really censor, so expect your search to come up with some pretty not safe for work stuff every once in a while. That's just part of the process. So set up an account first rank click on images and all images. You want to start off broad searching something like posters, photography, nature, manuals, and then use the filters on the left to narrow down your search. And once you find something interesting, keep going down that rabbit hole. Look through what the uploader has uploaded. If they already shared one good piece of content, there's a high likelihood that the other stuff they uploaded is also pretty decent. Same can be said for collections. Once you find an image that you like, you can click on the collection category and browse through anything that is similar or has been tagged in the same way. If you want to learn more about how to use the Internet Archive, follow for part two. We will go further in-depth with how to find the best inspiration online that no one else is using.
