As design­ers, some­times we need a lit­tle inspi­ra­tion to get our cre­ative juices flow­ing. Look­ing at exam­ples of dif­fer­ent user inter­face pat­terns could give us the ideas we need to design some­thing amaz­ing. That’s why I put together four of the best user inter­face design pat­tern libraries around the web. I have searched and looked at dozens. But these four, I believe, offer the best exam­ples with the best nav­i­ga­tions for brows­ing. The first two offer pat­terns only. The last two offer pat­terns with expla­na­tions on how to use each pat­tern. Take a look at the col­lec­tion and let me know in the com­ments which one you like the best.
