I got a mail from Matthew Smith this morning advising me to take a look at his new site Pattern Tap. Pattern tap is a inspiration site for web designers with a unique twist. Instead of the usual pretty site gallery Pattern tap allows you to look for inspiration on certain elements. So whether it’s 404 pages, creative use of backgrounds or perhaps use of icons you’re looking for these are all available to you with a single click. One interesting thing about the way Pattern Tap works is that results aren’t actual website links but images. This makes it a lot easier to see different designs elements and solutions than having to open up a host of tabs in your browser.
If Pattern Tap grows in content I can seriously see it become one of the most useful resources for web designers. I’m impressed!

Youri,
Thank you for your kind words. We have five uploaders on board now with a very keen eye for great design. I expect the tap to grow to several thousand images before the year is out. Also, people can feel free to submit their images to Pattern Tap for consideration.
We hope it will be an incredibly useful tool for designers and interface folks everywhere :)
Matthew
