Five sites for inspiration

I have just returned from a long weekend in Michigan. Headed back to visit with old friends and made some new ones. I needed to turn off, shut down and reboot… don’t we all sometimes?

It’s important, especially in one-person operations, that we keep our creative juices flowing. To that end, here are five sites I visit for daily inspiration. Stay passionate!

1. Direct Daily: Great blog that highlights great direct mail and grassroots marketing tactics from around the world. Complete with photos.

2. MelissaJill.net: I think this woman is an amazing photographer and fun human being. Photography is not only a personal passion of mine but I also visit because it shows what happens when you look form a different angle. When I get married, I’m calling her.

3. Logopond: Search and discover logos. Rate them, praise them, add your own. Helps rev up the design juices.

4.  CrazyLeaf: Always sharing new Adobe techniques, design trends, etc. Uber design geeky and I love visiting their world for awhile pretending I fit in.

5. MediaPost.com: Mega-ton site of research and marketing knowledge galore. So much to read! So much to absorb!
