It’s that time of the week again, time for some mid-week inspiration from Creative Individual. This week I’ve put together a bit of a mixed bunch – there’s lots of different styles on show in this week’s collection. From fun and simple, to highly polished with an impressive amount of illustrative detail, and others somewhere in-between – there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes and styles.

This is the first photography showcase on Creative Individual and I’ve decided to make it the first in a four-part series. The series is The Four Elements – namely earth, wind, fire and water. And in part one, I’ve put together some interesting and inspirational images around the subject matter of Earth. More specifically I’ve selected images of rocks, cliffs and rock formations.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first edition of Mid-week Inspiration in 2012. To get you inspired after the long christmas/new year break I’ve put together 10 sites which are fresh, clean, and a little bit different – helping you get those creative juices flowing!

This week’s mid-week inspiration is a small collection of only 3 sites but ones which I think are good enough to stand up as prime examples of an emerging trend.

Recently I came across the Citroën DS5 website which blew my mind. Using bold diagonals and lots of CSS3 transitions and Javascript to create some mind boggling animations, this site shows what can be done when technical capability and extraordinary imagination meets the guts to give it a go.

Check out this week’s short, but very sweet, collection of inspirational sites which use diagonal lines and animation to drive home their message.

Welcome to another edition of Mid-week Inspiration. This week we’ll look specifically at sites making use of the colour red. Whether it’s the predominant colour on the site, or is used effectively to draw our attention to specific areas, such as calls-to-action, these sites all have one thing in common, they all look great in a bit of red!
