deviantART Web Interface Designs
If you're looking for inspiration for your next design project, I would suggest looking at the images displayed on deviantART. This site hosts all types of art from photography to anime, but the part that I find most inspiring is the web interface design section. I love browsing through these when I'm bored or looking for my next idea for a project. Many of the designs are quite beautiful.

Agreed, its a superb pool of creativity. Also, csszengarden.com is good, as is Lost at E Minor, for when one is bored ;-)

It’s a good selection for design. But it suffers many of the same faults as csszengarden (mentioned by Andrew). Interfaces on DA tend to be made by artists with little or no concern for how they can be coded, so they’re kind of a free-for-all. At least on csszengarden they’re coded. But they’re mostly CSS-centric with aesthetics often going beyond usability or practicality, making them pretty but not good to use. So if you use sites like this for inspiration, leave it at that. Emulating them and thinking they’re how to do it will make the web a pretty but unusable place.
