Remember the days of going to linkup.com or checking out flashkit.com for the site of the day for inspiration.Well those days are long gone.

Now with flash mainly being used for video and site accent pieces, traditional web design using CSS or AJAX seems so much cooler. Screenfluent covers the total spectrum of cool web design and current trends. If you’re lacking something in your designs I bet you can find a good idea somewhere on this site.

Smashing Magazine consistently provides great articles and lists of information that will make a designers life easier. I check it out all the time and I’m always finding new techniques, fonts, and tutorials.  SmashingMagazine.com

So, one of my coworkers sent me this link to a really cool clock that Pixel Breaker built and I started to research how the colors of this clock related to each other. Then I found a Pantone site that had some great Colorstrology type relationships. Checkout the links and enjoy.
