Into digital art, 3d, and visual goodness? Look no further.

Another old school art group

DesignFlavr is my favourite new inspiration site by a country mile. Great content, great categories.

It’s not all free, but there is some good stuff to be found here

SmashingMagazine have really been putting out the goods in their inspiration category

A little slow lately, but still a good source of content, Check out this post in particular

Hey it’s PSDTUTS! Sean Hodge’s awesome inspiration posts have wrapped up everything from mecha to icons.

Abduzeedo’s got a great set of posts covering HD photos, design and much more

A neat aggregator complete with a blog worth keeping up with

Some decent stuff at LogoLounge, though it’s not my favourite logo inspiration site (that of course being FaveUp!!)

Outlaw’s got some beeeautiful inspiration images, particularly in his digital paintings post.

Another blog featuring some occasional great inspiration posts.

Social Inspiration - this site is one to watch out for!

Not so much visual inspiration as textual. Guy Kawasaki’s AllTop features a ton of great design blogs

Like your inspiration with a bit of typographic style?

Another up and comer in the design blog scene with lots of great posts to choose from!

It’s not *just* creative design, it’s also damn useful! Check out JCD’s list of inspiration sites

You might remember QBN in its previous incarnation as NewsToday - it’s still just as good as ever!

A little more abstract and offbeat than some of my other picks, FFF runs inspirational images daily and they are worth seeing!

Not only great aesthetic choices, but Muse also goes behind the work to profile the artists and designers behind a job.

AIGA’s design archives are the kind of place you can get lost in, it is AIGA after all!

Need a font to get your project started? Fawnt can give you a quick typographic shot in the arm!

I love looking through other people’s portfolios, especially when the site is as fun and colourful as CarbonMade!

Coroflot is the grand-daddy of porftolio sites and it’s still rockin’

Behance has been taking portfolios to a new social networking dimension and getting a lot of press. Some great stuff in there.

Flickr has become a great way to get design communities participating, Vandelay has rounded up a ton of them, but really you should just visit the PSDTUTS Flickr Group!

Our own Steven Snell’s home turf where he publishes tons and tons of great content, including inspirational wrap ups

Don’t speak French, don’t worry, neither do I! But Fubiz is still worth visiting, in particular their collection of 70 amazing business card designs

Not the greatest looking site, but quite functional. Inspiration Folder lets you collect and share inspirational designs

This is one of my favourite new sites, share your images in a sort of social-delicious-inspiration-image-fest!

Old school graphic inspiration focusing on grids, minimalism and modernism, nice!

Need some sweet architectural inspiration? Try CoolBoom!

Similar to WeHeartIt, this is Delicious but for images. Really, really cool!
