Cool sights for design inspiration & PSD files

Just thought I'd post a few links to sites that have abundant design resources. First up is the inspiration. From Mashable.com (a generally great site for creatives overall), we havet 100 Great Resources for Design. The article focuses on CSS resources, but there are also beautiful layouts, good color combos and nice formats for information sharing.

Second, for those who use Photoshop, the interesting article entitled Design Resource | 30+ Free Quality PSD Files to Download provides nice starter files for anyone learning to emulate good design principles.

Finally from the same design resource site,Design Resource | 15 Sites to download Free PSD files adds more files for those seeking to learn how to use Photoshop.

I hope these resources inspire you to create beautiful designs as Spring 2009 gets underway. Explore and beef up your creative chops.
