6 Tools For Better Web Design
Here are six of my favorite, almost must have tools that I use for every web design project. The end results is always better when I use some or, a lot of the time, all of them.
1. Handy Dandy Notebook For Sketches
Nothing is more useful to me than my Moleskine. I carry it with me pretty much everywhere I go, and it’s full of logo concepts and site mock-ups. I’d definitely recommend getting one. I get mine at Borders. It really doesn’t matter what brand you choose, any simple notebook will work.
I just like using a Moleskine because of the hardback cover, elastic band around the whole thing, pocket in the back, and the awesome caliber of paper they use.

2. Color Scheme Generator
More…The use of color is perhaps one of the most important aspects of web design, but also one of the hardest to nail. I use Color Schemer to help out, and their free gallery is very valuable for inspiration.
I swear by great fonts, and this tool is the best.
4. Browser Size Comparison
Nothing is more embarrassing then having your webpage look like the jolly green giant on your clients screen. Use this Firefox plugin to see how your site looks on different resolutions.
5. Mountain Dew
Or your favorite energy drink. Keeps the creative juices flowing 
6. iTunes
Or winamp, WMP, whatever works. Music always helps me work better, and gives me inspiration. For you, it might be looking outside at nature, but for me, music always seems to keep me calm, collected, and always full of idea.
