Lost Inspiration

Yes I've lost my inspiration.

I am looking to revamp and redesign my music website scenesters.co.uk. I'm looking to something a hell of alot simple and basic.

I am looking for the type of site that was around a few year ago (hard to explain) but small looking clean not over graphical.

Anyone know of any sites I can have a look at for inspiration let me know.

Or when you run out of inspiration where do you get yours back.

A few of the designs there have elements of what I'm looking for so it does help me abit.

The site I'm redesigning is http://www.scenesters.co.uk/index.php I really like the concept I have at the minute but abit chance in lifestyle I'm changing the concept of the site and design with it. I think the reason that I still like that design is blocking my inspiration for a new one.

Cheers for the help guys will keep you posted of course.

Re: Lost Inspiration

Redesigns are good. If you do it to a blog it makes you post more.

Re: Lost Inspiration

If you have some thoughts in your head, write them down on paper.....frequently, one thing will lead to another and before you know it, the site is design on paper and it is easy from there to code. It is a very old business trick but it works well for web design also.

Re: Lost Inspiration

Yup, looks like inspiration returned. It helps just to talk through it sometimes.

Re: Lost Inspiration

I guess it just does =D

I love it when it just flows out, when each and every bit looks right.

I'm also thinking of coding this one in css too rather than using tables

Re: Lost Inspiration

Simon, hate is such a harsh work. Karinne dislikes tables passionately. And throws snippets of CSS at them until they throw up <table> and run away screaming. lol

If thats directed at me thanks. Thing is alot of people have said I should work in web design but I personally dont want to, much more perfer having my own little projects here and there.

I think with past experinces of enjoying painitng and drawing cartoons and stuff and it was drilled in to be at school that I should keep going and have a great future in it I lost intrest and I dont even pick up a pencil now.

As for the design I just done I like it even more as the guitarist is a mate of mine and its a photo I took and not using some stock photo of some gringo i dont know, if that makes sense lol
