Get Inspired

Ok, so you know how to use Photoshop.  You're a master.  Now what?  It's time to get inspired is what.

The main way I get inspired is by looking at what other people have done.  I'm not only looking at the ingenuity and beauty of designs, but also the techniques used.  I see a really great grunge poster, or a great color scheme, and think, I can do that but tweak it this way or use it for this other idea I have...



Below are some great sites I use to see wonderful works done in Photoshop and get myself inspired.  Some of them are tutorial sites, others are not.


VladStudios
PSDTuts
Deviant Art (Type a topic and go)
Google Search
Behance
Design Flavr

These are just a few to get you started.

Have some great sites that you go to for inspiration?  Post them in a comment below!

    1. I like using DA for inspiration too. Recently I've been going through sites like iStockphoto for inspiration as well. I am guilty of using google on occasion though. Thanks for sharing!
