Design studios and advertising agencies around the world have closed their doors, meaning designers and creatives are now having to quickly adapt to the realities of working from home. Those whose creativity is the linchpin of their livelihood are therefore trying to find ways to calm the inner turmoil, banish boredom while working from home, and let their artistic ideas flourish.
If you're anything like us, you're always looking for new ways to push your creativity. But how do you keep your creativity flowing when you're stuck at home and unable to travel to your favorite places for inspiration? Just because you can't go to Paris doesn't mean you can't lose yourself in dreamy editorial photoshoots in your favorite magazines. Get inspired by wow visuals, quirky cafes and decor, and rely on your Pantone color references to create new and fresh color palettes.
Portable, handy color fans that are perfect for any design challenge, no matter where you are.
Now is the best time to look back, reflect and visualize what you want to create next.
Art or fashion magazines are a great source of inspiration and can help inject something new and fresh into your designs, especially in terms of color. Perhaps you've spotted colors, shapes or patterns you'd like to try on paper? The Pantone Color Bridge bridges the gap between solid, process and web color reproduction and is the most versatile tool for graphic and digital designers. It's the only tool you need to compare and select colors in spot vs. CMYK print. It also provides the equivalents of HTML and RGB values for digital applications.

Pantone is the universal language of color
You know that feeling when you're on a video call and your client asks for "more blue, but not too blue." But how do you make sure you're on the same wavelength when you can't meet your clients in person? Use the Pantone Formula Guide to take the guesswork out of color—the colors are arranged chromatically so you can compare all the shades of blue at once. When you choose a Pantone color together with your client, you know you're on the same page as them, and everyone else you rely on to reproduce the color.
It's more important than ever to keep your design fresh. Actively find a way to use your talent and experiment with different colors and tones.
Metallic colors, like those found in the Pantone Metallics Guide , can add that extra pizzazz and sophistication to your designs. For designs that stand out, take inspiration from the colors found in the Pantone Pastels & Neons Guide .
