Smashing Mag: Finding Inspiration in Uncommon Sources: 12 Places to Look
Inspiration can often be difficult to come by.
Speaking from personal experience the search for a muse can be an adventure in itself, to make it easier for others, I will be sharing snippets of articles & resources I find on the net. Those of you familiar with my twitter profile know I’m good for 3 or four of these sorts of links daily, while the blog may not provide content at that rate it will provide resources that haven’t been shared via the social network feeds.
clipped from www.smashingmagazine.comInspiration can be a fickle thing. Most designers, when lacking ideas, turn to design galleries to find ideas. But there are a few problems with that approach. The most obvious is that when taking inspiration from similar mediums, there’s a fine line between “inspired by” and “copied”. To some extent, looking at established website designs can also be somewhat limiting, especially if you’re looking for a fresh solution to a problem.
There are so many things designers could be turning to for inspiration outside of design galleries. We’ve featured a dozen of those places below, along with where you can find inspiration for each of them. Share any other inspirational sources you might have in the comments.
