G’day guys,

I feel my internet world has shrunk to a very few websites which I check really painfully often so, at the risk of finding more ways to waste my time at work, I’d like to hear your suggestions for more good design blogs. In the past, I have spent a lot of time on designiskinky and that’s good, and also the fwis book-cover design blog is great, but I want to widen the net, I’m feeling a bit creatively dry and I’m thinking there must be heaps more stuff out there.
thanks

In no particular order:

Createmake
FFFFOUND!
FormFiftyFive
It’s Nice That
The Serif
Manystuff
Computerlove™

I have more, but those aren’t in my RSS-reader at the moment, so I can’t find them right now. Also, a lot of the posts on many of these blogs have ’via:...’ beneath them, check those links to find yet more blogs. ;)

http://www.manystuff.org/ is THE place to follow.
http://vvork.com/ is also interesting, but the focus is more on contemporary art with the occasional graphic design pieces.

These are really great, thanks again, it’s really valuable to have personal recommendations of sites that are interesting and helpful, it’s hard to know when you visit a site once to know whether it will consistently deliver

Bit of a tangent but kind of related, now that design blogs are so readily available do you find you’re buying or subscribing to less design mags?

I hardly ever bought a design mag anyway. Also no subscriptions to one.
But I do read design blogs for years now. :)

Not many pretty pictures but if you’re a designer who likes to read, there’s some good articles that will make you laugh.
