HOW TO GET INSPIRATION FOR NFT DESIGNS
Following the trends, it’s evident enough that cryptocurrencies are the order of the day, but much more than this, NFTs are going viral, even beyond imagination. So the first question to ask is what is NFT?
An insight on NFT
Contrary to other cryptocurrencies, non-fungible token (NFT) is a non-interchangeable unit of data, stored on a blockchain that can be sold and traded. It is primarily the claiming and registration of ownership of a particular digital asset on a blockchain. One amazing thing about these assets is that each and everyone one of them has a predetermined value and digital address, and this is to ensure authenticity.
Part of its uniqueness, or we could say, one of its attributes is that is often associated or represented by a physical asset which could be a work of art; a picture, audio, or video.
We need to understand that it’s much more than a collection of arts, it’s a safe and lucrative investment, and it’s a big win for the investors when the value appreciates. NFTs aren’t only beneficial to the buyers alone, it’s amazing to know that NFTs optimum increase in value to the work of designers.

Knowing your design niche.
As an NFT trader, it’s important to know what suits your brand best, and what works for you!

While some specific audience have a great preference for digital art style, some would rather go for a traditional one. Knowing your target audience would enable you choose the techniques you want to use in designing your NFT.
Understand your creation/marketing intent.

Choose a format that goes in line with your marketing intent and target audience.
Looking at design inspiration proper.
1. Use 3D art

2. Pop culture inspiration
The kind of world we are in currently is greatly influenced by pop culture. Virtually everything we do as an iota of Pop culture. So, bringing this idea into the NFT world and creating Pop art methods would help in no small way.
3. Anime-inspired design style
Anime, fully called animation, is a Japanese comic style. It’s a design style that attracts a large number of audience, so be sure to be on the right track.
4. Modern NFT designs
As stated earlier, while some audiences prefer conventional/traditional digital art style, we have those that would go for the digital art style; the Gen Z and millennials. So, for this, modern designs that perfectly suits the web are required.
5. Video storytelling
Across the internet world, video is still the most popular by which people display their content. If it could work for every other content, NFT is not an exception too. It is and would continue to be a strong means for content creation and networking.

This is another style of digital art that involves tiny squares or dots making up a whole representation of an image.
A thorough search on NFT designs, one would be amazed at how much-pixelated designs are taking over, and one thing that should be understood is that, once a particular trend is on, following the trends might just be all that the brand needs to make a big win.
