I always have a block. And can't think of anything to design.

Hence why i haven't submitted in a while.

It'd be interesting to know! =]

If I need inspiration for something, I'll listen to music or something. That usually really helps me.

I think trying things out and getting familiar with the program is pretty much the best thing you could do to improve yourself. At least, that's how I learned to use Photoshop. Just trying things and messing around. Trial and error, and mimicking things that others have made, just obviously not putting it up anywhere..

Practice, practice, like jcp said (imo).
