I'll look at other books that are both specifically about design and illustration as well as books, packaging, etc. that use illustration and design. I find myself looking at websites when I'm referred to them or researching websites that my have qualities similar to a specific project I'm working on. There's always so much to keep up with of course, and sometimes I wonder what the right balance is between knowing what's out there to be inspired and informed but not being so involved in what everyone else is doing that your work ends up being too much of the same thing.
