Craigslist - http://nottingham.craigslist.co.uk/

Craigslist is a collection of local classified adds and forums which are community moderated, and largely free. You can find jobs, housing, goods, services, romance, local activities or advice.

It has a simple, 'no-frills' design and is reasonably easy to use however can be overwhelming at first.

Abduzeedo - http://abduzeedo.com/

'Abduzeedo is a collection of visual inspiration and useful tutorials. There are all sorts of articles for those who want to look for inspiration. Also you will find very useful tutorials for the most used applications out there, with a special selection of Photoshop Tutorials and Illustrator Tutorials. One of the goals of Abduzeedo is to be an open channel to the design community, encouraging feedback. The Daily Inspiration is a proof of that, everybody can send images that inspired them so we can share with the community.'

I regularly use Abduzeedo to look for inspiration for my projects. I find its simple design makes it easy to navigate and I like their use of large images to pull you into reading each articles. I also enjoy the fact its always changing due to the ability for anyone to update it.

VectorArt - http://www.vectorart.org/

VectorArt is a collection free vector illustration for file download. It allows users to upload their own vector files to the site an catalogs them in a clear and neat manner. I find using vectors can be very helpful in designing anything from websites to poster.
