Anytime I feel like I hit a wall and may be experiencing “writers block” for lack of a better phrase, I shut down PowerPoint or whatever development tool I am using and start seeking out some inspiration. I embrace this moment because I always get pretty pumped up about what I find.
The past few days a lot of my inspiration has been coming from web design sites and blogs. While they may not be developing presentations, they are certainly developing beautiful websites, graphics, icons, and templates. I have been continuously impressed by the artistry and design elements. These guys also have tons of freebies on their sites (presentation designers need to get on-board with that). I’ll post some links to some of my personal favorites I recently stumbled upon. Enjoy!

Just a brilliant brand identity designer, what more do I need to say.
