I have to say that getting inspired is difficult at times. Being able to create unique & awesome graphics takes time & research of the current market & trends. When I am in slump of non-creativeness I always turn to these fantastic inspiring blogs to get my design juices flowing.
For packaging or graphic design inspiration, I always turn to the dieline for unique, innovative, or just plain cool packaging & graphic applications. They showcase student artwork, corporate artwork, & art pieces that have won awards for their brilliant design.
Design Sponge is a great source for getting crafty, having an urge to redecorate, or just browsing around & seeing what other people have done to their spaces. I LOVE checking into this blog daily for decorating ideas for my own home. I really like how followers upload their own DIY projects and share before & after pictures of their almost always successful more modern project.
I find it so inspiring to see others "before" & "after" DIY projects, like the old granny chairs above to be transformed into modern & chic matching lounge chairs. Sooooo brilliant to take something old & make it new & now.
For my beauty & fashion fix, I check out Chic Profile for the latest trends in the fashion & beauty world. This blog is so up to date with the latest trends & newest cosmetic finds, limited editions, & early previews to what we can expect to see at our local department stores.
Here are some of the newest beauty trends to hit the market this Holiday 2010.
