A dose of inspiration!

Over the past few years there has been an explosion of websites dedicated to the creative arts. Here's a few that I regularly visit for a healthy dose of inspiration!

Smashing Magazine - Great resource for all things web. Keeps you up to date with the latest trends and technologies, not to be missed!

Awwwards - showcasing the best websites that are currently out there.

CSS Mania - One of the best CSS galleries currently around, great search function based on a websites hex colour.

Dribbble - I mentioned dribbble in a recent post, very cool social network for designers with some jaw dropping designs.

Deviant Art - one of the older websites ive featured here. Deviant Arts focus is on all things creative, from pottery to jewelry to photos to websites - very diverse!

Creattica - A designer showcase that has a huge range of categories to choose from - pixel art, anyone?

Tutplus - the tutplus family of websites provide great tutorials on everything from graphic design to web development, audio to video etc... there's something there for all skill levels.
