10 Blogs Every Graphic Designer Should Follow
As freelance graphic designers we spend much of our time in front of a computer. Often, we will stay up into the wee hours of the night trying to make that last minute tweak. So, all too often, as soon as the work is done we shut down the computer and escape to something of a non-digital nature. Sometimes in our flurry of business, we forget how to just sit and browse the internet for enjoyment. Here are 10 blogs/sites that I believe every graphic designer should follow, in no particular order:
With over 139,000 subscribers, Smashing Magazine is one of the top design blogs on the internet. With content like theirs, its obvious why.
BittBox provides articles, tutorials, and my personal favorite - FREE TEXTURE TUESDAY!
Specializing in Logo Design, the blog is authored by respected designer David Airey.
Hongkiat provides a diverse collection of articles and resources for designers, bloggers, and self-proclaimed tech geeks.
I recently found out the author of this blog, Jacob Cass, is only 22 years old…which makes his blog even more impressive. Tons of very useful resources and links are available here.
A blog about design, business, social networking, usability and more.
Offering “Daily Graphic Design Inspiration”
If you look on more than 3 reputable Graphic Design blogs, someone is going to mention this guy. Definitely check out his portfolio, where he walks through his design process on each project from concept to finished design.
I would guess that this one is one that most of you haven’t heard of. I especially love his video tutorials…and yes he does drop some F bombs while teaching!
A great blog to read through or browse whenever creativity seems just out of reach. Lots of inspiration here!
This list is by no means exhaustive, but I just pulled the top 10 out of Google Reader that I read the most often. If there are any that you think deserve a mention…please pass it on!
