Here are a few of the blogs I follow that give me inspiration, knowledge and cool design resources.
- Design View / Andy Rutledge
This guy always has some great thoughts about web design and web standards. His personal portfolio is pretty amazing too! - CSS Newbie
Very cool website that has some useful resources for web design, programming and CSS. This guy actually works in the IT Department where I’m interning – August Home. - Creative Curio
This gal writes pretty interesting stuff about graphic design. If you are looking for web design info, you’re in the wrong place here, but there are great tutorials for the Adobe Suite. - Just Creative Design
This dude is three years younger than I am but blogs about some pretty interesting stuff. His blog is similar to mine, in that we are both in college and blogging about our experience doing freelance work and about we are currently learning. He is a little different than I am, because he actively searches for freelance work, via his website, while I never search for work and yet it still finds me. He seems to have more of a business and a central website for his blog/website/portfolio, while I keep mine separate for various reasons. I should take some cues from his overal model though! - Seth’s Blog
He isn’t a designer but is certainly relavant to designers. Seth blogs mostly about common sense business and marketing practices. His posts are eye-openers for me. - Tom’s MAD Blog
Tom is an illustrator for MAD Magazine. He does some pretty cool caracatures and has great thoughts about the design process. He has some cool video tutorials on illustrating with a tablet and Photoshop.
Do you have a cool web design/graphic design blog you follow? Let me know about it.

Thanks for the link but I must also say one thing… not everyone’s model will work for someone else. I do not advertise anywhere else other than on the net so I guess that is why I look for work online… the rest just comes from word of mouth which is great. What year you in? You should have a subscribe to comments button 🙂 Seth Godin is god 🙂 Reading a book of his atm.
Stephen, thanks so much for the kind words about Creative Curio! I hope you’re learning a lot from my writing and occasional guest authors. If you ever have any questions about graphic design, please feel free to ask me!
