Hey guys,

Just curious to know where you guys get your design inspirations from for offline web design? I know everyone is trying to be original here but there are definitely design trends out there on a regular basis.

Any sites or resources you guys could pass on would be greatly appreciated.

      Awesome links bro, thanks a lot! I'm definitely going to buy that book, looks exactly what I'm looking for.

      Anyone else have anything to contribute?

    My number 1 choice for my designing inspiration is

    Awwwards,com

    Here's my other option:

    BestCssVault,com
    CssElite,com
    Mabucplus,com
    Cssflavor,com
    Bestwebgallery,com

    I'm checking this websites everyday because sometimes I feel like I'm losing my designing talent that's why I quickly go to those websites and look for new submitted websites, analyze the design.

    Personally, I like to view the questions and answers on the W3 Invision board, Stackoverflow and different HTML help forums.

    Also, I look for "Top 10 Websites Of xxx 2012" Just insert the month. You'll find plenty of awesome looking websites for inspiration.
