We’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of the San Diego chapter of AIGA by sharing some of our favorite inspirations. For starters: 25 of our favorite design blogs. We sent out a survey earlier this spring to our members and these are our results.
One of our respondents said, “I have no idea, I’m looking forward to seeing your list.” So here you go, enjoy, explore. (And don’t be surprised if a few hours pass.) If you frequent another design blog, share it in the comments below.
