where do you find design inspiration?

By webee Wednesday April 25, 2007

a cool post from robcubbon got me thinking:

- where do we find design resources and inspiration?
- where (with whom?) do we exchange our knowledge?

here are my sources for design inspiration sources:
- creativebits - tools, reviews and tips for graphic designers
- ideasonideas - a site for communication designers and brand strategists
- Connor Wilson - a blogging designer helping blogging designers
- robcubbon - a freelance designer with tips for freelace designers
- creative design - david gave me a few tips for getting things done with my blog
- typophile - news and discussions about types used in graphic design

later update:
- see this list of priceless design resources from asgeir hoem

what are your design sources? what are your sites on graphic design that you visit frequently?

I have literally just found this site, great for inspiration - I had already seen the vectorika magazine - some great vector illustration, its in my blogroll, but there is some reall cool design work over there.

You, sir, have a deal.

I’ll look through my bookmarks and see what I can dig up. First of all, though, I’m gonna sleep. Getting tired over here.

Cheers!
