LINKS & INSPIRATION
Designers Talk
A forum for designers to discuss ideas and get feedback on graphic and web design. I can't really begin to explain how much I have learnt from this forum. I have a browse every day and rarely come away not learning something.
A word of warning before you look. It is full of smart designers, they don't give praise easily and have little time for idiots. Once I learnt and understood this, its has established itself as a fantastic learning source.

Design Fridge
This is Design Fridge, a CSS and Flash site gallery devoted to bringing you fresh inspiration from the world of web design. I often find myself suffering from designers block. Nothing a good look around this site can't cure though. Most of the designs are truly inspirational and have helped raise my standards constantly. It features a lovely interface and you can browse loads of categories to find that inspiration you are looking for.
