Websites all designers should know about

As a designer developer, there are a few sites that I visit on a regular basis that I either gather inspiration from, post works to for critiquing, or just enjoy reading. This is a small working list, but these are the basics.

Design Blogs:

[dzineblog.com] This is a fairly new blog to my list but they seem to have some very good inspirational pieces and the editorials are meaningful. Definitely worth a look!
[Photoshop Star] Yet another new one, but very professional none the less. Specializing mainly in Photoshop, but they have a very good resources section.
[Web Designer Wall] Very good editorials on web development and design trends. If you want to stay on top of what’s new in the biz, this is where to find it. Oh and they have good tutorials too.
[Andy Law Design Blog] A friend of mine beginning his blogging path to enlightenment. Show some support with a click!

Web Development Resources

[deviantART] This website has many different incarnations of design, art and community. Free to sign up and get inspiration and post your own.
[iStockPhoto] Need cheap, quality stock photography? This is the place. I found them when they first started out and now they have stuff to cover every possible subject.
[Icon Finder] A great place to find icons for your project. They have tons to search for and all of them are quality!

So in the end, I hope that someone else can get a little extra edge when they go for the gold!
