Now I share my collection of web tools that I used to use when I was a student, but many friends of mine even didn't know these tools exist. Many of them are quite useful also for designers.
Please welocome and enjoy...
1- Drawing Architecture
Do you need some inspiritation?
Take a look at drawing architecture on tumblr to see exciting visual works!

2- Font Combinations
On Canava
Even choosing the right font might be painful sometimes. Especially if you don't have much time before the deadline!
Font combinations gives you advices and shows you examples. The database doesn't include all the fonts, so check the page before you decide your starter font if you wish to use the tool.

3- Show it Better
Architectural representation
Well, this guy actually sees my articles (I believe). He made a post based on the collection of the cover pages of the National Geographic Magazine just a few days after me with out any citation. Images taken from the same databese with very same colors and crops (which is coverbrowser.com).
Here is my post on steemit: https://steemit.com/science/@gmike/change-of-the-national-geographic-magazine-covers
And here is his: https://www.instagram.com/p/BeDXy7unzvj/?taken-by=letsshowitbetter
