It sometimes feels like my head is gonna explode. I am out of ideas and designs, especially with colour schemes etc.

I dont know if you know where I can have a look at some website design ideas or even buy some designs over the internet? I have 2 websites to make in the next month or so and really need some new ideas... Please?

Let me see what you've got and I'll offer some suggestions on how to improve it.

Brown paper wall it.

Write the name of the "owner" in the middle of a piece of paper. add what sort of a person or company he is.
Then write down things that come to mind. Things that are linked to these things again...and so forth.

Then look at all the ends of the links you've made and see what makes sense.

For example:

Coca cola -
Bottles - female figure - brown girl -
Bottles - fluid - bubbles - gas - smell -
Bottles - glass - sand - beach - sea - fish - food - restaurant - dish -
Drink - thirst - warm weather - Sun - hot -
Drink - mouth - throat - urine - toilet -
Drink - fluid - container - large containers - boats
Red label - whisky - whiskey - Ireland - little green men
etc. etc. etc.

(this by the way took me 2 minutes).

Do this for a good 15 minutes and you'll have tons of links, linking to different things.

But, say this was all I came up with:
- I'd go for a red and cola brown/black layout
- I'd use round forms, resembling cola bottles
- Add in a bit of sexy brown females (why on earth not)
- Get the lay-out to remind people of warm weather and sunny beaches

And just for the hell of it, here's the coca cola website to see what they came up with: http://www.coca-cola.com/index1.html
