I Want to Feel Inspired

Inspiration.

It’s something that all creative people need. Whether it’s to break up the sometimes monotonous slog of the day-to-day grind, or simply to stay hungry and motivated, inspiration is the fuel that keeps our brains churning and our blood pumping. Sometimes, it comes to us out of nowhere. Other times, it must be sought out.

When I’m in a rut, or in need of some creative stimulation, I do what a lot of designers do; I pull up my Web browser and check out what my peers are doing. So I thought I’d share some of my go-to sites and agencies I look to for inspiration. Since the DFW Metroplex is such fertile ground for good design and art direction, I thought it would be good to share the sites of the agencies and studios that I think represent our best and brightest.

Check out the links below. There’s some truly amazing work to behold. Do you have some favorite sites that you go to for inspiration that are not on the list? Hit me up on Twitter or LinkedIn and let me know. I’m always on the lookout for new sites to add to my bookmarks.

Enjoy!
