Sometimes, designing that perfect calendar or creating headline bliss can be exhausting. I know, we make it look easy, but the truth is we aren’t always able to magically pull out a solution on the first pass. Often great designs involve research, time, and inspiration. Christian Watson has put together an amazing compendium that can save you time researching and finding inspiration for elements of your designs.
The aptly names Elements of Design is a different type of gallery, showcasing over 700 designs in categories ranging from comment forms to headline typography. If you are stuck designing your footer the site has over 70 different styles for you to look at. If you are looking to spruce up your calendar then head on over to check out some great designs to inspire you.
My favorite category is the headlines, showcasing some very nice typography that more sites should strive to achive with the most important element in their design.
If you think you have the perfect headline, comment form, or any other element in your design you can give Christian a shout and he might just add it to the gallery.
Wow, thank you for letting us know about this inspiration library, John! It’s exactly what I need right now while designing a new Blogger theme, and is well worth the bookmark.
love your blog mate, thanks for the good articles
