Everyone loves looking at other peoples Art. Illustrators love to look at other peoples drawings. Graphic Designers strive to see the latest trends in using type, layout and print methods. Web Designers are constantly under pressure to out perform the next big thing online. We all love to be inspired. Its human nature. When we see something great, we want to make something greater. Its actually quite simple.

But, have you ever found yourself in that predicament where you need to reference something you have seen, or an image you have saved for reference but can’t remember where it came from to give credit or make a reference? Designspiration.net is the answer to this. I do not work for Designspiration.net, nor do they pay me money to write about it here. I am just a passionate designer expressing his love towards a simple website that makes my life so much easier, and me–happier.

Desinspiration.net put simply, is the ultimate way to reference fantastic Graphic Design you find on the internet. Its a collection of people who share the same love for great design, typography, illustration and photography. Features of the site allow you to browse through the latest additions by other members, ‘like’ images, search for images via key words or tags, look through trending tags and a whole range of other ideas. If you find an image you like, why not ‘follow’ that persons feed — that way, designspiration.net will recommend anything else that person submits or tags for your inspiration. Not only can you browse through existing inspiration, but you can add your own found images from other websites. When you add an image it automatically saves the link and lets you apply some keyword tags to the image.

After being a designer for a while now, I can’t express enough how helpful this is to keep a trail of anything you like, become inspired from or just plain want to reference at some point later on. You can follow my Designspiration.net feed after the jump.
