Where do folks turn to for blank canvas design inspiration these days? I’m looking for:

— General *visual* design inspiration resources (not blogs)
— Design as a whole, not a specific area like web design

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

I love this book so much! This book is as good as the cover and the simple epic tagline is the cherry on top. Is up on Netgalley!
