Fountain of Inspiration
I can hardly keep up with myself today! Somehow I came upon an enormous wealth of graphic design websites today. It was a bit overwhelming as I did not have enough eyes to look at all hundred sites at once. Here are just a few that I found particularly interesting. Now, since I’m generally behind on what’s hot, I may start talking about something that’s been around for while like it’s brand new. I apologize in advance. Have a look for yourself!
Inspired Magazine – “daily graphic design inspiration”
Fudge Graphics – “freebies, tutorials & inspiration for design lovers”
Smashing Magazine – “we smash you with the information that will make your life easier, really”
Dead Wings Design – “visit the dark side of design”
Function – “designing a website that works”
Those are the major sites I consider most informative. From there I found countless articles, tutorials, showcases, free downloads, and so much more. A few articles captured my special attention that I wanted to share. The first is Web Design Trend Hunting over at Inspired Mag who spotted the “circle trend.” From there I found two new artists’ work I really like, Zara Picken (illustrator) and Richard Perez (graphic designer and illustrator). Fudge Graphics has a cool article on artists’ favorite colors. Turns out I have the same favorite color as Vitaly Friedman at Smashing Magazine, which leads me to my next article of interest – 50 New Beautiful Blog Designs. And if you love Top ## lists, I have one more for you. Spoonfed Design compiled their 40 Highly Creative Headers list. This, obviously, is not everything out there, but it’s a start. Quite honestly it’s enough to keep you occupied all day if you’re not careful, haha. Hope you find lots of inspiration from this!
