Yeah… shocking.

Digital Web has an article on building your design inspiration collection, and I thought now would be a good time to share some of my resources. My Flickr website screen shot archive is a constant source of reference material when I need to see something well designed. I also love NotCot.org for its fantastic array of art, toys and products that all share a solid design sensibility.
