Graphics: 19 sites to monitor trends

Inspiration Detruk

Firstly I want to apologize for the lack of posts on this blog for some time. Between work, my little wife and a week "off", I have not really had time to make new items ... To catch me a bit here is a selection 19 sites (magazines, blogs, galleries) that will follow the current trends in graphic design. Design, Graphic Design, Photography, Animation, Typography, Web design etc. ... Here is a small selection of my favorite places on the web ...

1983 by its author is a journal / scrapbook of design. On this blog, Kenny Wan, graphic / web designer and amateur photographer showing his discoveries and heart strokes. Readers can participate by sending mail they wish to offer.

Abduzeedo is a blog by Fabio Sasso, a Brazilian designer. If you want to track trends in graphic design and web design is really a site to put in your favorites. In addition to interesting articles you find every day a post titled "Daily Inspiration" which shows the heart of strokes but also authors of the blog readers. You can even post on this blog or via Twitter after you register. I strongly suggest you go for a ride on this site that has quickly become a reference for me.

Behance Network is a network for creative professionals present their work but also to create working groups. If you are prompted for a user to Behance, you can use the tools available to create your portfolio on the site. Without invitation, you can still view the works presented. It is a great place to track trends ... There are also Behance Magazine and Creatives Outfitter (online shop).

Creative Tempest is a gallery featuring talented artists. Many areas are covered (digital painting, illustration, street art ...) and quality works and artists presented is always the rendezvous. You will find no advertising "visible" on the site which has instead opted for subliminal ads. Every 5 seconds, an advertisement appears in 1/2000th of a second ... Come on, I leave you I'm going to buy coca ...

For those who do not know yet Deviant Art, this site is a goldmine for the creation of all kinds. You can register and upload your artwork for submission to the review. Unless you have something specific to look for, it is good to walk on Deviant Art navigating from link to link. A design you want, you get to the page author. After visiting the gallery, you can go for a ride on his favorite ... And then you find out that you like then go visit the author's personal page etc etc etc. .... On Deviant Art can find the worst and the best, everything is looking good to know. Small information to conclude, this site is a great place to find free textures ...

blog Dirty Mouse is almost exclusively fueled by its readers. Graphics, Web Design, Illustration, Photography, Design product and interior design are all areas where you can find inspiration by going to update the blog several times a day.

Yet another very interesting source of inspiration. The site Form Fifty Five has many contributors on a variety of subjects: Design, Photography, Typography, Graphic Design, Art, Print, Web, etc ...

On FFFFOUND , not only can you share your favorite heart by helping to feed the blog, but you can also see suggest topics related with your own tastes. The system is simple, you can tag posts that particularly interest you. The more you put in favorite subjects, the better the proposals will be made by the site. In addition to the voting system / proposals rather nice, the quality of choices make FFFFOUND a good source of inspiration and thus a place to place in your bookmarks!

On his blog Grafik Cache , Dave Smith, an Irish designer of 26 years makes us share his sources of inspiration. Design, photography, architecture, lectures, exhibitions, typography, illustration, animation ... the list of areas discussed in this blog is long.


Grafica Real is a project started in January 2009 by Samuel Jesse, a young student in Multimedia & Design. This site is halfway between the magazine and blog. It mainly covers the fields of graphic design in the broadest sense (resources, tutorials, reviews, street art, fashion, etc. ...).

Graphic Exchange is the site of Fabien Barral, passionate French freelance graphic graphic arts. You'll find his own creations, but also his sources of inspiration. In addition, this site allows you to share your work print (if selected) with Fabien offering to share some of his works. A good concept is not it?

Made in England was created by a "Cookie", designer, illustrator and adventurer .... The site covers many different areas and subjects and artists are often offered positive surprises. Fresh and humorous tone gives this blog a little more enjoyable.

The Original Blog linkage created by Bob Sakoui, artistic director in a advertising agency based in London, offers numerous articles on a variety of subjects (Design, Photography, Music, Packaging, Illustration, Animation etc. ...).

If the reputation of Reform & Revolution no longer do is most likely due to the quality of artists and works on the site. If you want a preview of what is best in graphic design is the perfect place.

Andrew Gibbs The Dieline created in 2007. This site is dedicated exclusively to packaging. You'll find the best examples of this, created by very talented artists.

The Strange Attractor is a site about design, art, music and science. The site is powered by its readers and contributors more "official". It was created by Pete Barnett, Designer and musician living in Chicago and Brendan Crich, designer and musician living in Colorado.

If you love typography, type Neu will surely overwhelm you. The site has many art projects, all compared with the art of typography. Please note that this site is coupled with Reform & Revolution (shown above)

Visual site was created by David Bennett (This-Studio.co.uk). You will find many links and projects with design, graphic design, photography, typography etc. ... Yet another source of inspiration not to be missed ...
