Periodicals
There are so many great periodicals out there for design inspiration. I think many of us spend too much time trying to find inspiration online and in website galleries. Design periodicals can give you a totally different perspective. I've only ever had subscriptions to Communication Arts and Print (in fact, both of those were required reading in college), but I occasionally pick up individual editions of the rest of these at my local bookstore. I highly recommend flipping through these magazines to make sure they're right for you before committing to a subscription.
