Just about every time I sit down to create a solid post about some groundbreaking content, I’m forced to refer you guys to another post that is worth looking at.  I really don’t mind doing it at all, because there is so much good information being produced right now.  And some of you might say that I’m a fanboy at the Envato Network and that is partially true.  I will always be a fanboy of any blog that betters the design industry and is worth a bookmark.  That is certainly the case with this post appropriately titled 60 Free Vector Icon Packs for Design Professionals.

Dzine Blog Gives You 404’s

Man, a lot of these design bloggers out there are creating some really great content.  Do you guys ever sleep?  Talk about really putting some pressure on fellow blogger when these lists are written and you can see how much time is put into it.  I cannot imagine how much time it took to find 36 Cool Custom Error 404 Pages, much less the process of finding pages that didn’t exist. Dzine Blog must have a lot of boring 404 pages before they found all of these cool ones.

Daily Sources for Design News

Since we as designers are known more for the visual and not the textual, my last post was about visual sources for design inspiration.  The inter-web has been a great place to showcase our portfolios and show our skills. A lot of times though, there is a story to tell behind the artwork, and it is just as important to follow that information too.

Visual Sources for Design Inspiration

If you’re anything like me, you spend all day working on design for websites, t-shirts, posters, print material, and the list goes on.  Whether you are doing client work or something for yourself, it is very important to stay with the trends and find inspiration.  There are millions of ways to get design inspiration from something as simple as walking down the street or looking out of the window.  We’re not possibly going to sit here and list out every imaginable way to get inspiration for design; although that would make one hell of a Digg piece.

With the influx of design blogs, freebie websites, and design contests, we all need to find a way to aggregate this information in a way that we can digest it.  I just thought I would share with you the three different sources of aggregated design images that I use on a daily basis.  These three resources make it much easier for me to cruise through hundreds of pictures than going out and looking for them myself.
