Recently I gave 13 recommended design links to a graphic design student:
Advertising:
A must for anyone interested in advertising.
Publications and newspapers:
A must for anyone interested in publications and newspapers.
Illustration:
The essential illustration blog.
Salaries:
Online portfolios:
Although I like custom portfolios on websites, there is an advantage to posting your work on sites like www.coroflot.com and www.creativehotlist.com. Because portfolios are standardized, it’s easier for employeers to search through people’s books. The more places you can get your work out, the better.
General design blogs:
www.underconsideration.com/speakup
Cool stuff:
(aside from the standard www.core77.com), there’s the lesser known www.stylehive.com which brings in an interesting community aspect to style.
Designers network:
There’s a new site that aims to bring graphic designers together through social networking. www.designerid.com
Adobe Studio Exchange:
THE place to get free photoshop brushes, actions, filters for all of adobe’s programs.
