2. Websites that use hand-drawn sketching – yet another list …
A bit like the site you’re currently reading, these websites listed at CSSAddict implement hand-drawn sketching in their design. Some of them are real pieces of art.
What I don’t like, is that some of these sites use the same (downloaded) fonts. That’s a shame. If you’re going for hand-drawn, try using your own drawn text, or if needed, create your own unique, hand-drawn font. -
3. The Heads of State
More inspiration at The Heads of State.
Amazing how a ordinary coffee stain can become a bycicle wheel.

4. Don’t Panic
Great resource of all kind of design stuff. Just browse around the different categories and look for yourself.
Quoted from the site itself: “…it contains all sorts of arts and culture goodies and information for cities all around the world with the emphasis on design and the future of our planet.” -

This article at PSDTUTS explains (by example) various points to take into account when doing design work. Tips that help you get better and be more original.
