Blog » The BIGGEST ever list of design resources!
Following the huge success of last year’s “World’s Biggest Ever List
of Graphic Design Blogs”, we’ve decided that we should turn it into an
annual event – after all, more people than ever before are blogging and
the talent pool continues to grow.
This year, we’ve added in some additional categories including
typography and image sourcing sites to help you along your way. The list
is at least 40% larger than last year and is the one stop shop for all
that you could need in terms of inspiration, reference material or tools
for you to use.
So, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen…. drum-roll please!
