			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my list of inspiration collated through random findings via Twitter and my Igoogle. I hope it provides a dose of inspiration to your day. Please click on image to take you through to the artist&#8217;s respective site.</p>
<p><a href="http://allnew6.com/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.onextrapixel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/allnew6.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>This is such a beautiful flash site from a collection of Japanese inspired websites (including the one below). I don&#8217;t understand Japanese but it rotates through different scenes of Japan city life with little figurines. It made me want to pick up and watch Lost In Translation for the gazillion time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shunkawakami.jp/#/home/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.onextrapixel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/shunkawakami.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a sucker for simple black and white websites with a focus on type. (Notice that I&#8217;m going through a black and white phase with my current blog design).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/55663/projects/55138/556631200427164.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="424" /></p>
<p>This and the following are from a collection of retro designs. I love the smart use of type against the geometric background.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/74351/projects/143517/743511225797223.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="399" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.republic-of-veggie.com/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-513" title="latinartist31" src="http://www.norwegianwood.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/latinartist31.jpg" alt="latinartist31" width="424" height="506" /></a></p>
<p>This is one of the stand out collection of Latin digital artists. This is one of the many designs that caught my eye, probably because of the use of pink.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hellovon.com/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://designyoutrust.com/wp-content/uploads6/helloven_5.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Black and white used very effectively.</p>
<p><a href="http://designyoutrust.com/2009/07/28/mini-messages-posters-and-tee-shirt-by-hulk4598/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://designyoutrust.com/wp-content/uploads6/3618739241_e6388f8e80_b.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="592" /></a></p>
<p>Hahah what more can I say?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/itschrees/3753618938/in/pool-49783354@N00"><img class="alignnone" src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/inspir_20_vector_flickr_groups/vector_drawings_2.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>This is such an involving piece contingent on where you focus.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melmarcelo/3567551118/in/pool-facesvector"><img class="alignnone" src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/inspir_20_vector_flickr_groups/faces_vector_2.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="563" /></a></p>
<p>One of the vector portraits that don&#8217;t make faces look cheesy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Pop-up-book-for-Harpers-Bazaar-Australia/272639"><img class="alignnone" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles2/116364/projects/272639/1163641248493957.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>Harpers Bazaar pop up book. Very fun!</p>
<p><a href="http://bentrovatoblog.com/photography/photography-by-nicole-demeshik/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://bentrovatoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/nicole-demeshik_ben-trovato2.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="635" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.behance.net/d-planshet/frame/280141"><img class="alignnone" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles4/117546/projects/280141/1175461249594154.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This is definitely a stand out &#8211; such a violent yet fragile photo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.behance.net/Gallery/DiR/174882"><img class="alignnone" src="http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles/85550/projects/174882/855501233003266.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="597" /></a></p>
<p>I love the ornamental use in this hand drawn typography.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.behance.net/Gallery/DiR/174882"></a><a href="http://bentrovatoblog.com/editorial/photography-by-billy-kidd/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://bentrovatoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/billy-kidd_ben-trovato1-722x481.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>The colours are just amazing!</p>
