Remember I said I'd read all the PSFK Top 10 Design Blogs of the Year during January and report back? You don't? Oh, OK.
Well, I've been reading them all throughout January and, pretty much, they're all crap. (Well, Design Is Kinky is brilliant, but it's not my kind of thing.)
I've learnt some interesting stuff, like this article where the man who designed Comic Sans confesses and explains why.
I've seen some horrendous design, look at this:
Bloody hell, it's like an episode of Moonlighting in a jpeg. Christ, I hate that kind of design.
But, to be honest, I'm glad I don't have to read all that dirge anymore.
I like The Prepared Mind a little bit, I think I'll keep reading that. This post about Singapore is particularly interesting. Because Singapore is important right now, to me, to the Shortest Knight and to you.
I hate Design Observer. I think it's boring as fuck. It reminds me of all the kids at college who read Eye every day, could name every font ever invented, but couldn't communicate and now work in art galleries. Zzzzzzz.
The Aiga one is OK, a good resource. But I don't think it's a blog - more of a magazine. Dr Design is quite interesting.
To be honest, they are all pretty fucking boring. I have real trouble finding good graphic design blogs. Do you know of any?
