Slanted are looking for small-scale, experimental, or lesser-known tools that help shape both the big picture and the finer details of creative practice.
Whether developed by individuals or small teams, or discovered and recommended by dedicated users, we aim to showcase a diverse range of tools that enable designers, artists, and creators to think and work differently. Our scope includes, but is not limited to tools from the fields of graphic design, type design, illustration, 3D rendering, motion design, web design, generative design, and creative coding. We are interested in how tools function, how they are used, and how they empower users to expand creative boundaries.
– Developers of digital tools (whether standalone apps, plugins, scripts, or web-based platforms)
– Users who want to recommend their favorite tools or hidden gems that deserve more attention
The goal is to create a rich and accessible compendium that can serve as inspiration for the creative community—a publication that not only documents tools, but also the thinking behind them and the context in which they are used.
