Inspiration posts
I’ve collected a bunch of websites I’ve found that have given me inspiration. There’s some great use of white space and some nice logos too. Very modern and a great example of where I think web design is at the moment, the styles and trends that are popular today.

“When looking for top quality content, you’re usually forced to pay for your resources. They’re generally better and easier to work with, and offer a wider range of use. Sometimes though, you can find the same level of quality at zero cost, and it’s exactly what we’re going to do today. We’re going to create a detailed illustration with free gifts and self made goodies.”

Over the past few weeks I’ve bookmarked portfolios that stand out to me, some of these sites have some really interesting pieces of work that you might take inspiration from.
Gfx8 – Some of my favourites here are the Cancer poster design, the digital art gallery, and Knightmare.
Saffron – Lots of interesting stuff from Saffron, particularly like the work for Lloyd’s, Bankinter, Rompetrol, Banco Deuno and Indra.
The Small Stakes – The designs here are very simple, I bet they look great printed.
Andre Augusto – This site has an interesting design in itself, and although some of the work looks a bit “web templatey” there are nuggets of inspiration here. I like the logo mark and typography for Caffè Digital.
Definitely Something – This website really stood out to me, obviously quite a successful business but some of their work isn’t up to much. Why feature it here? I quite like the pretty shapes in the header… 
Newlyn – Newlyn created the new “friendlier” Sky logo as well as many other well-known logos. Their site is worth a look for some inspiration.
