favoritesdesigns

favoritesdesigns is a digital platform and archive that curates notable design projects chosen by editors and a global community. It covers product design, graphic design, UI/UX, architecture, and industrial design, with emphasis on concept, execution, and impact. The site aggregates work from around the world to facilitate discovery and learning for designers, students, and educators.

Founded in 2014 by a small group of designers and technologists, favoritesdesigns established an open-submission model balanced by editorial oversight. Submissions are attributed and accompanied by project details, context, tools, and goals. Editorial features and interviews highlight design thinking and process behind selected works.

The platform supports collections, tagging, and search, enabling users to build personal sets of favorites. It also hosts occasional design challenges and case-study features to illustrate workflow and decision-making. Submissions undergo review to verify accuracy and licensing, and the site maintains guidelines to ensure proper attribution and permissions.

Favoritesdesigns is recognized in design circles as a resource for discovering emerging studios and case studies. It is praised for breadth and accessibility but faces ongoing discussions about algorithmic visibility and licensing clarity. Ongoing updates aim to broaden coverage and localization through partnerships with schools and studios.
