I love coming across smart, easy and painfully obvious design like this!

At reddit.com to sign-up you simply…

1. Type in your chosen username.
2. Type in your password.
3. Type it in again (just to make sure you typed it correctly the first time around).
4. Click Create Account (hit the remember me select box, if you want to be automatically logged in on future visits).

Not only does it sign you up but it also automatically logs you in.

Is that it?

yep, nothing else, that’s it!

I am not a naturally creative person so I need to ‘boost’ my creativity every now and then. Here’s a quick top 10 list of sites that I visit and things that I do to get my creative juices flowing.

1. Flickr Leech – I take a look through the images, I then choose one of those images as the desktop for my day. Try and not stick with a particular style and type of image every day, vary it a bit.
2. NotCot – I found this site from Jon Hicks’ post about new design blogs. A quick scroll through the pictures often fills me with ideas.
3. Sleep – If you’re tired, then you will probably not be creative. Get yourself a good nights sleep or go for a nap.
4. Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia – Look up words/subjects related to what you’re doing. If you have children then have a look through some of their books, you’d be surprised where ideas can come from. Karen pointed out a great site in the comments: RhymeZone.
5. Prints & Patterns – I am fascinated by patterns, so simple yet they can give so many ideas. via Rachel Cunliffe.
6. Experiment and learn – If you’re not prepared to experiment the you’re not being creative. Try not to always stick to the same formula. I know it’s an over-used clich
