Today, I'm going to share with you some of the blogs that I get inspiration from. Most of these I've stumbled upon when just surfing the web, and they've been a great source of information, projects and tutorials. It's amazing when you see so many people passionate about what you love and it's a real treat to find some of these great blogs.

Ran by a number of designers and developers, the depot offers a wide look into the world of design. Challenging the normal and questioning trends, it's also a great hub for freebies (which are great by the way) and also helps people stuck with questions about the web, for example, what's the best Wordpress template to use or how can freelancers get more work. Very insightful.
