All designers need inspiration. That inspiration can come from just about anywhere, and ideally inspiration will be found from a variety of different sources. Nature, print publications, art, music, photography, architecture, and other things that are all around us can serve as excellent sources of design inspiration. But since most web and graphic designers are online for hours at a time, gallery sites and blogs often become a go-to source of inspiration.
