For my first article on my website, I thought Id start off with a list of websites that I find inspirational and why.

It’s inevitable that sooner or later, us creative lot will suffer from the dreaded creative block, and the best medicine for this is to look at pretty things!! In this instance, websites! So here is a list of the websites that I look at, and why I think they’re great.

First off is VTS Design. These guys are a web services company, and are the ones I chose when I decided to set up my own website. They’re reliable, professional and to be honest, just absolutely fantastic!! They’re always on hand if you have any troubles with your website, and nothing is too much trouble at all! So not exactly creative, but essential none the less.

Secondly, Id like to give a heads up to Graphic Design Blog. A one woman design blog, Tara has many year experiences in the business.

Number three goes to Just Creative Design. A 20 year old graphic design student from Sydney, Australia, his drive and enthusiasm is an inspiration in its self. His blog focuses on graphic design, and offers free tips, articles, resources and a vast range of subjects relating to graphic design.

Number four is Logo Design Love. You guessed it; this website is all about logos. Nothing more, nothing less!! Everything from logo's in the news, to comparing logo rips offs to the logo design process.

Number five is Design Week. This website is basically the web version of the Design week newspaper, but with much more. It has an archive, so you can look back at old articles, and a jobs section, so you can keep up with the latest design jobs available in your area.

Number six goes to Deviant Art. Need I say more?

Number seven is Net Diver. This website is absolutely devoted to tutoring, empowering and stimulating creativity. Packed full of design inspiration and eye candy, this one definitely pleases me!

Number eight is Colour Lovers. This is a website that follows the trends and influences of colour. It’s a place for people who use colour to compare palettes, submit news and comments and read colour related articles and interviews.

Number nine goes to You The Designer. A great resource for hard to find inspiration tips. Definitely one where I learn stuff!

And finally, number ten goes to All Graphic Design. This website is a blog full of lessons, tutorials and creative bits. It will keep you learning for days!
