Creative Direction Resources Pack
This is a curated overview of creative tools and resources, designed to support the first and most critical part of any visual process: creative direction. Each of our Packs consistents of 18 tried and tested resources/tools so you can focus on making your best work.
The Creative Foundation Pack is part of the Creative Director’s Playbook series — built to give you quick access to trusted tools for research, trend awareness, and type selection. It’s the kind of document we wish existed when juggling 40 tabs, moodboarding at midnight, or starting a fresh brand from scratch.
Instead of scattered bookmarks or sketchy tool lists, you get a clean, organized showcase of resources and tools within the below listed categories. Grouped by category, with descriptions, tips for success, pricing and direct links. Everything is selected based on real use inside our own creative workflows.
Which categories with resources are inside this pack?
- Inspiration & Moodboarding: resources to collect and structure visual references
- Trend Forecasting & Culture: resources that help you stay in tune with what’s moving in the market
-
Productivity & Utilities: tools that streamline your workflow, eliminate friction, and help you get more done with less effort.
It’s made for working creatives — whether you’re building decks, designing a project, leading a team or need creative direction.
Keep it on hand. Use it often.
A clear, practical reference — created by creatives, for creatives.
