Most 404 pages are dull and boring and lack that little pizzaz that makes web design fun and clever. I was happily surfing the web the other day when I found the 404 page on Astuteo.com and I literally LoL’d and spit my coffee out all over my desk… I thought there have to be more great 404 pages out there like this! Read on for some laughs and a chance to show me your 404 page!

I asked my twitter friends a simple question a few weeks ago: Who inspires you? At the time I was working on a project and wasnt feeling that creative. Thanks to everyone who submitted answers for this post! I hope you enjoy the work of these 17.5 inspiring designers!

Obama design rop-off
LessOtten.com

Looks like the designers of this website were a little bit more than inspired by the (remarkable) Obama campaign website designed by Simple Scott.  There are so many similiarities i’m not even going to get into it! The Otten campaign denies they were even inspired by the Obama design (source: CNN) !!! Ha!   The Otten website was ‘designed’ by Insyt… Great job guys!

What do you guys think about this design? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

I’m on vacation for the next few days so there won’t be any posts for a week or so. But… I thought I would show you what I was up to :) This is what nerds do on vacation!

Btw- if you are looking for color inspiration take a look at kites! Lots of bright and shiny color schemes!
