Wanderlust

As a professional, you just need to be creative at monday mornings, too. There isn’t time to wait that spark to hit you. No worries! Just relax, make a cup of coffee or tee and take a INSPIRATION BATH.

Inspiration bath is something, where you surf trough some good lookin’ and outstanding graphics/photographs/websites/what ever. Maybe you will get some creative energy out of it, or perhaps catch a few ideas or tricks.

For graphics/photographs DeviantArt or Flickr are one of the best places to start, but how to find good websites? Google? Nah!

CSS Zen Garden used to be the one, but that was like over 6 years ago…

CSS Line is Finland-based, but they accept websites from all over the world. Obviously it’s still mostly just finnish ones.

In Templatemonster.com they sell layouts. It includes a lot of Very neutral/boring looking material, but you can find some good ideas from there.

Vierityspalkki – uudet julkaisut – Finnish (big) companies publish their recent works in here. Campaigns, company websites… everything. Good stuff and a lot of background info (in Finnish, though).

And just to list, don’t know these too well: CSS Lite and CSS Remix

These are of course good galleries to find out trends in modern web design. And then what do you do? You BREAK those trends. Don’t follow what others are doing (that much).
