The Best Design tools voted by the Product Hunt community 😺
I tried the 4 tools nominated for the Golden Kitty Awards in this year’s design category and I found them really cool!

Product Hunt, like every year, celebrated its Golden Kitty Awards, the famous recognition for the best makers and start-ups who launched their project in 2021. It is an award that sees as protagonists the best projects voted by the entire community of Product Hunt.
Here we will focus on the Design Tool of the Year category, which brings together the best tools aimed at helping designers in their work.
I find the tools named this year particularly useful for improving and accelerating the creative process. For sure, some of you will already know some, but they are worth remembering because they deserve to be tried by the whole community of designers.
Among the nominees for the award, we have an illustration site, one to facilitate (and a lot) the creation of animations, a now-famous tool for 3D design and finally … the winner of the Design Tool of the Year, which you will discover at the end of this article.
Designstripe

The first tool nominated for the Golden Kitty Design Awards is a huge library of customizable illustrations: Designstripe.
Thanks to its simple online editor, Designstripe allows you to take a predefined illustration and modify it as you wish to fit your project. The large variety of customization options gives you great freedom of creation.
With Designstripe you will be able to modify characters and objects; change the color palette, the style and the number of details in the scene.
You can also choose from various collections of illustrations divided by style.
I tried Designstripe and found their editor beautiful and super intuitive. The various predefined illustration styles available make it suitable for all kinds of projects. Not to mention that the library is constantly growing, so you’ll always find new…
