Inspiration can come from many different places. It can come from being exposed to a different environment, but it can also come from research, colleagues, fellow students, and websites that are on the tips of your fingers. The following is a list I wanted to provide of what currently inspires me as I slowly learn about the large world of graphic design.
Lovely Package
Kuler
Design Observer
Azure Magazine
Applied Arts
We Heart It
Mood
Wordboner
Makes You Smile
GRANDESIGN
yay!everyday
Oh So Beautiful Paper
LOOKBOOK
Think Design
Wear Palettes
The Dieline
TED
These links are ones I currently have bookmarked on my computer, but there are more I can think of that I am still wanting to check out! As my list grows, I will update it when necessary. There are so many different design magazines and artists that are out there as well, I look forward to discovering so much more about the design world. Enjoy!

The City of Inspiration
This past weekend I had the amazing opportunity to go to New York City with my Graphic Design program. It was my first time in this famous city, and I have to say I quite enjoyed it.
What I really loved about New York was how different it was compared to the culture and life I live here in Ontario. Getting the chance to be in a completely different surrounding gave me fresh inspiration and a new outlook on design. Seeing the amazing architecture around the city, as well as being exposed to so many different cultures, people, and even styles, really helped to renew my creative thinking process.
New York also gave me more motivation and determination to work hard on all the design projects given to me, as well as made me realize I shouldn't let the pressure of a deadline block my creativity. Instead I want to take the time to really dive deep into a project and pour my heart and soul into it. Seeing so much design, and so many different types of design is what encouraged as well as excited me to continue to work with diligence.
Some may call it the Big Apple, I call it the City of Inspiration.
