The wonderful thing about the internet and the World Wide Web is the sheer diversity of resources that you can find but only if you know where to look. Some businesses hate the freedom of information that the internet brings especially those that earn a living on the back of that old saying “the money is in the mystery”.
Now days if you have the time and the patience to go hunting (and you know what you are looking for which always helps) you can pretty much find just about anything (We’ve included a few in our resource section on the right)
The web is also useful to get the creative juices flowing, client can scour around finding designs and schemes that they find appealing and would like to incorporate into their corporate brochures or website, but equally the web can be a rich source of inspiration for many design professionals as well.
We are not talking about blatant copies or derivatives of other peoples work because we all know that is illegal. What I’m talking about is finding those seeds that send your creative thoughts down a track that perhaps you had not explored before.
Ideas for creative designs are all around us and it would be very interesting to find out what gets your juices flowing or where you find inspiration when you just can’t seem to come up with the right idea.
Feel free to leave a comment about what works for you or examples of inspiring design.
