Ok lets face it, there are tons of design galleries out there and it's hard to find the ones that are actually worth visiting.Post Image In this list I am going to just post the ones actually worth going to for inspiration, eye candy, or if your just bored and looking to kill some time, you will not be disappointed or be able to go wrong with these!

This post will cover website design, logo/identity design, and business card design. I would also like to add that these are not the be all end all of getting inspired. Go outside, go for a walk, look about around you. I also find that print is a great place to find inspiration. Eg: A book/magazine cover. Album art, things like that.

Conclusion

 

Well that about does it. Some of these sites do not update all that often, but some do. For the ones that don't it's because they only let the best of the best, or at least what they think is the best on. Some of the stuff should not be on there but what can you do?

Just keep in mind, real inspiration comes from all around you. You don't need these sites to find it, but they can sometimes help. Just keep your eyes open, go outside and look around, look at book covers, etc!

What do you guys do for inspiration? Got something cool? Please share it with us, just post it in the comments below!

Wow nice
Nice inspirations!
And I got one more question for you, about this jomcomment template.
Did you make it? is it available somewhere?
Could you provide it to me, or do you sell it if you made it?
looks great!

Hello,

The comments are a really modified version of pastel(Which comes with the pro version of jomcomment).

The Joomla! Template was totally custom made by me.

inspiration...
just about anything can inspire me ! and most of the times, it is not while I am looking for it. I just "pass an order" (my needs) then let go.
But I can help it by doing activities that makes me less logical oriented (painting as for an example, even without any idea in mind, or writing/drawing with left hand) Usually, the inspiration comes to my mind within 3 days (and often less). When it comes from something I look at or hear, it's from anything that surrounds me; nature, people, a dialogue, even clouds formation ! lol
at the opposite, I don't like to force things and go hunting for inspirations from internet (it just doesn't work well for me)
(sorry, my english is limited and I find it hard to express what I really want)

keep up the good work here ! smilies/cheesy.gif
