My last post for about a week or so…vacation! Enjoy….

My personal list of 32 websites that inspire creativity and web design. Most of my favorites are because of the simple grid based design, typography and layout (oh and don’t forget the great content!)
Hope some of you find this list useful as I did!
Take a look at these great files posted over at creative bits. Thought these may come in handy so I wanted to spread the love. I could definitely use these for some mockups! Great resource via#
No no, don’t be alarmed! I didn’t actually cut myself…
Help is a new line of healthcare products designed by Richard Fine who was inspired when shopping for pain relievers for a headache. The experience only made his head hurt more: the ugly packaging screamed out slogans under the neon lights, adding to the confusion. Fine’s response was to create simple packaging out of soft molded paper pulp, designed to be calming. The first two products are “help I have a headache” and “help I’ve cut myself”, tablets and bandages, respectively. via #
The packaging is great, simple design, lots of white space and actually very calming compared to all of the crazy packaging out there. Kudos to help. You can check out their product packaging & nicely designed site here.
This post just came across my feed reader and I had to spread the love. There are some amazing designs for the footer of a website, makes me want to re-do my own right now! Very inspirational.
