Over the years I’ve uses several different methods for finding inspiration. Back in the day there were printed books with designer’s work for you to look at (they still might exist).

But now with the internet and sites like Digg and Del.icio.us finding inspiration is much easier. I’d almost go as far as saying it’s difficult to separate the good from the noise.

Here are a few of my favorite sites I look at when I’m don’t have the creative bug:

  1. Design Inspiration Gallery - FAVEUP
  2. Web Designer Wall - Design Trends and Tutorials
  3. Exploring Design: Outstanding Start Pages
  4. aiAlex » Top 50 Inspirational Websites for Designers
  5. Change Agent - Issue 32
  6. Vitamin Features » Web Design-isms: 7 Surefire Styles that Work
  7. 10 Best-designed web sites in the world
  8. 34 Places to Get Design Inspiration - Online and Off
  9. thecoolhunter.net - design
  10. Vitaly Friedman’s Notebook: 25 Sites You Shouldn’t Have Missed in 2005

For that matter I keep a running list in my Delicious account :)
