Ask HN: Where do you get your design inspiration?

9 points by Sam_Odio ↗ HN
What blogs, websites, and designers influence your style? Let's not just limit this to web design but also include mobile, desktop (and maybe even interior?) design.

I'll start it off with the obvious: http://www.smashingmagazine.com

I also love the design of many indie Mac software developers. ripitapp.com & realmacsoftware.com/littlesnapper are two examples.

I usually leave LittleSnapper running in the background, and take a screenshot when I come across a design that I like, so my LS library is usually where I go first. The collection is pretty eclectic, so it would be tough to categorize to a specific blog / website / designer. The most recent entry is of the Versions website (www.versionsapp.com) - like Sam, I'm partial to many indie Mac software designs.

I also tend to browse Ffffound.com on a frequent basis.
