7 websites full of inspiration to keep your creative juices flowing

If you work creating original products or services, you probably have noticed inspiration and creativity are more like a rollercoaster than an easy hike. One day you are at the highest heights and the next you can’t even… you can’t. When I find myself on one of those creativity deserts, I head over to my “Inspiration” newsfeed folder and I breathe everything in. What I have there is simply a list of art, design and technology websites that regularly publish amazing projects by talented people. Even when they are completely unrelated to what I do, browsing through the latest posts puts my brain to work, sometimes at an unconscious level that starts sending new ideas to the surface later on. Here you have links to some of my favorite websites and a selection of new posts that caught my attention. Enjoy!
