50 Websites to follow if you’re into Web Design

{ Posted on Jun 10 2009 by Louis Gubitosi }

The best thing about being a web designer is being able to easily stay current with trends, news and inspiration. How can you do it….? Well, using the web of course. There are hundreds of different websites out there to use as tools that cover every field relating to web design and development.

Below I’ve listed my favorite 50 sites that I check out on a daily basis with Google Reader. Here they are in alphabetical order. (Click on the images to view their website)

    Mine favorite is I Love Typography – remember when I only started working in the web development niche I was so much surprised with how much our Art Director paid attention to typography. Later I understood this attention after I saw some examples of typography which totally ruined the message of the web page.

    David Airey and TDC I couldn’t agree with more. two very inspiring designers without the hubris. Knowledgable, succinct and with the necessary skills.
    I can’t speak highly enough of them. i look out regularly for them.

    I’ll make some attempt at catching up with some of the others.
    Thanks for the recommendations.

    take good care and get as much joy as you can every day.
