A Dash of Inspiration

We all run dry, fall short on creativity, and lack enthusiasm on certain projects. It’s a facet of a web designer’s life. Let’s be real with each other, true creativity is a rare animal. Web designers and artists create their works of art from inspiration. Great web designers and artists take inspiration from others, and evolve it into their own masterpiece.

Here are just a few sites to get your creative mojo — flowin’:


CSS Mania – A showcase of CSS websites that make you drool.


Template Monster – Albeit a website that sells templates, you can gain inspiration from the many designs this website offers, not only in xHTML or CSS, but in full Flash and even XML driven Flash websites. MMMMMmmmm tasty.


Logo Pond – One of our absolute favorites. This website is chock-full of creativity. Yes, they are logos, but plenty of designers have to design a website, around a client’s logo.

We hope you’ve enjoyed these 3 sources of inspiration. If you have any you’d like to share, do leave a comment.
