# Pictorial Search Engines The Niice App Lets You Search For Images in a Mood Board Setting By M | Published 2014-06-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niice References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/12/niice/) & [niice.co](http://niice.co/) The Niice search tool cleverly offers Internet users the chance to look for ideas in a illustration-based format rather than scanning through URL links and text. The Niice tool offers graphic designers, illustrators and creative individuals the chance to scroll though countless images and graphics to help inspire a person's individual creative process. Niice works by letting users browse through a data base of pre-selected images from various Internet communities and galleries in a format that is much like [Pinterest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonts-ninja). Designers and creators will have the chance to encounter different works of art that they might not have come across if they were searching through [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixboard) links. From there users can create a Niice mood board and save their favorite graphics onto one handy platform. The mood boards can conveniently be shared between clients, co-workers and companies to foster inspiration and collaborative work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Illustration-based Search Engines:** Leveraging pre-selected images from different communities can replace traditional text-based search engines. - **Visual Mood Boards:** Using a platform to collect and share favorite graphics can streamline creative processes and improve collaboration. - **Personalized Inspiration Tools:** Providing customized mood boards tailored to individual tastes can improve the user experience and boost creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** Niice can help graphic designers streamline their creative processes. - **Art Curation:** Niice's pre-selected images can help curate art collections for galleries and museums. - **Marketing:** Niice can be utilized by marketing professionals to improve branding and advertising design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Mood Board Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixboard.md) - [AI Image Searches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-image.md) - [Efficient Picture Search Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarks-ninja.md) - [AI-Powered Mood Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodboardly.md) - [AI Interior Design Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-interior-design.md) - [Image Library Search Engines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-libraries.md) - [AI Image Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-hubs.md) - [AI-Generated Illustrated Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-libraries.md) - [Design Inspiration Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vault1.md)
