6 Non-Design Blogs You Should Follow
Jan 16, 2009 Resource
One thing I’ve noticed lately is that graphic design enthusiasts tend to only follow blogs about graphic design. While this is nice for learning about graphic design, its also limiting. Personally, I am subscribed to many blogs across a wide range of subjects, from graphic design, to entrepreneurship, blogging, politics, technology and music. The reason for this is to remain diverse and connected across a variety of topics. Most designers either are, or aspire to be, full-time freelancers, so it’s useful to have a good sense of entrepreneurship, current world affairs, and marketing.
This is a list of 6 non-graphic design blogs that you should follow, in order to increase your knowledge and success as a graphic designer. Topics include blogging, politics/world affairs, entrepreneurship, and marketing. Be sure to check out these blogs, and subscribe to them if you find the content as useful as I have. Also, if this article helps you, please submit it to your favorite social networking site. Sharing is caring!
