Me, I have trouble sharpening a pencil, so my creative potential is likely to remain just that - potential. But there's no doubting that the human mind is capable of an awesome degree of creativity, and many of those lucky enough to be able to express themselves through design are featured here.

This is a major international venue for designers to get together, showcase their work and hopefully find some, too. It's always (well, almost always) inspiring to see what creative folks design, and what they choose to represent the best of their work, and there's plenty to see here. You can wander through the profiles and portfolios of individual designers, or visit one of the many groups which share similar interests. There are literally thousands of images, so if you're interested in the subject it's one of those places you can get lost in without realizing how much time you've been exploring.

Whatever your opinion of modern design, whether you think it pretentious or prophetic, I think you'll find something here to feel strongly about. And evoking feelings is, after all, what art is about.

If you're already a professional you'll know about this one, but if you're thinking of design as a career, it's definitely one to bookmark and revisit.
