I stumbled upon a site “PSD Station” which blew me away with some really slick looking PSD templates 🙂  Looking though their archives I felt really inspired and I think it’s really handy to have some many nice looking designs and different versions of normal elements that are easy to take for granted.

I was mostly impressed with all the variations of signup forms they had.  There were some interesting variations that I have seen before but it really made me think about all the different ways you can present that information by seeing so many different samples in one place.

I found myself in the need for some inspiration, so here is a small collection of some nice looking 728×90 banners:

Layer Tennis is an interesting “sport.”  What happens is that one designer starts off a Photoshop file, and then gives it over to another designer who makes a change or ads some elements.  This continues for 10 rounds, with some amusing commentary thrown in.  It sounds like a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon 🙂

Fonts in use is a blog that features, well… fonts in use!  It’s fairly self explanatory.  It’s a treasure trove of typographic examples.  Every post spotlight one or more fonts being put to use in real world examples and includes details about the font’s name and origins – which I appreciate.  If you an aficionado of typography like myself you may want to take a peek 🙂
