Often I visit sites that either inspire me by their design, layout, or assists with getting inspired. I thought what better way to share some of these things that inspire me than on a Wednesday — the middle of the week, hump day, or just-a-few-more-days-till-friday.

This week’s inspiration: Pattern Tap

I came across Pattern Tap from a Six Revisions article detailing websites that help with or inspire UI design. Pattern Tap stood out to me because it simply displays real-life examples of different types of website design, layout, typography and more. At Pattern Tap you can register for a free account, and create a collection of the showcased designs for future inspiration reference. So far I’ve created 4 sets of collections: Simplicity, Dark Style, Forms, and Typography.

If you’re visual like me and rather see than read about design, definitely check Pattern Tap out. You can view my Pattern Tap collection here: http://patterntap.com/people/profile/madlion
