DESIGNCOLLECTOR

Overview

DESIGNCOLLECTOR is a long-running digital culture editorial platform founded by Arseny Vesnin in 2003. It curates and publishes the best of visual media arts, design, photography, illustration, digital art, NFT and AI art, interiors, and music videos.

Unlike algorithmic discovery feeds, DESIGNCOLLECTOR relies on a human editor to select and present work across a wide range of creative disciplines. It serves artists, designers, and visual culture enthusiasts who want a consistently curated stream of inspiration.

Key Benefits

• Active editorial curation running continuously since 2003, giving access to over two decades of archived visual culture content.
• Covers a broad range of disciplines including art, design, photography, illustration, digital art, NFT and AI art, interiors, and music videos.
• Music video section aggregates curated clips from artists such as Gorillaz, Rosalía, Arctic Monkeys, Björk, and more.
• Organised archive by year (2014–2025) allows browsing historical curatorial selections by period.
• Mixtapes section adds a dedicated audio-culture dimension alongside visual content.

How It Works

Visitors navigate the site through category tabs — All Posts, NFT and AI Art, Art, Design, Photography, Illustration, Videos, Digital Art, Interiors, and Music — or browse the year-based archive. Artists and creatives can submit their work via the Submit page for editorial consideration.

• Digital artists and NFT creators who want editorial visibility by submitting work for feature consideration.
• Music video directors and fans seeking a curated library of notable music videos from established and emerging artists.
