some inspiration

so i was recently asked what "design" blogs i subscribe to. this is such an interesting question, mainly because i currently subscribe to 79 different blogs. but since i don't really want to list out all of the blogs that i subscribe to (including links), i decided to add a new section to the right side of my blog called "some inspiration". it is a short (really short) list of some of my favorite blogs to go to for inspiration.

i'll list them out here as well with a little explanation as to why i like them.

  • this ain't no disco
    displaying office spaces of "creatives" around the world.

  • web designer wall
    some really great articles about web design (and design in general) by Nick La.

  • signalnoise
    great work of James White and great posts with his inspiration.

  • bolt graphics
    really great illustrations by Martijn Rijven

  • house industries show and tell
    blog for House Industries featuring uses of their fonts (some of my favorite).

  • card observer
    a newer site showing off business card designs.

  • the dieline
    a great site featuring packaging design, most from companies that i have never heard of.
