Inspiring Images: FFFFOUND!
by Chris Higgins - January 23, 2008 - 9:30 AM

FFFFOUND! is a community-driven design resource, posting interesting images — photos, graphic design, paintings, all kinds of stuff. Users can “save” photos (marking them as personal favorites), and the site then recommends images based on who saved which photos. It’s a great way to get some design inspiration, or just browse awesome photos. By following the trail of related images you can find all kinds of wonderful stuff.

For example, let’s say I like the photo below, labeled: “Team Work : Tunc Topcuoglu”:

Team Work

Looking at the image’s page, I can see that twenty-three people saved it. The site recommends some more images, including this lovely picture labeled “suwaowa.log”:

suwaowa.log

After the jump we’ll take two more hops down the visual yellow brick road.

The image above leads us to nopattern:

And then on to “Amazing Shadow Pictures with Just Shoes and Rain”:

Shoes and Rain

And it just keeps going and going. Check out FFFFOUND!, read the About page, and enjoy! (Note: the provenance of these images is unclear — let’s hope FFFFOUND!’s cataloging counts as “fair use.”)

  1. Thank you so much for discovering the “Just Shoes and Rain” photo; I love its combined whimsy and sadness…Just like life, eh? Forlorn and fun. Bittersweet. Definitely NOT black and white though, as this picture is!

  2. WARNING!! I clicked on the link for the site and a few images down was a topless lady.

  3. This is a LOT of fun! I don’t completely understand it, but I am enjoying the clicking a lot.

    (N.B.!!!: I AM a topless lady under my sweater, shirt, and bra!!)

  4. Is anyone else having trouble with the ffffound site? I’m not able to log in to select photos. Can’t wait till it’s back out of “private beta” so I can play with it more.
