    Whats your Inspiration?

    Hiya,

    Just wondering what you people used to get inspiration for designing sites?

    My personal favourite is http://www.coolhomepages.com/

    Any others that you visit or do you get your inspiration from other places?

    DM

    I just doodle for the most part. Keep the customer's ideas in mind then just play around till something comes together.

    I usually have a bunch of ideas from site's I've seen that I think of when I make something but it's rare a complete page comes to mind

    My inspiration first come from something spiritual, then everything else follows.

    Partly it comes from magazines, television ads, and just plain old photoshop time.

    The more time, the more I read, the more espresso I drink, the more it comes out different.

    I've actually got to the point of working for 5 hours in PS, not liking what I see and just ALT f'ing the program (Too much work to do, not enough caffiene)

    Women... and beauty... and corporeal objects with such graceful aesthetic designs. Flip through the IKEA catalogue lately?

    Try brainstorming on paper first! I usually do most rough on paper before hitting photoshop - much more efficient when you have a design on paper to work with.
