There are hundreds of design blogs online, some come and some go, but there are the ones that continue to keep growing and keep offering invaluable information and resources for all designers. Whether you are a newbie or a much more seasoned graphic designer,these blogs which I personally follow all have something to suit you.
While browsing these blogs you will find a wide variety of Inspiration, Tutorials, web development/coding, logos & Typography, Freebies & Giveaways, Advice & Discussion, design news, and even work. I have personally enjoyed reading these blogs on a daily basis during the past year. As this is a personal list of mine, I have also included my own favourite blog post from each of these blogs.
I hope you enjoy them and gain as much use out of them as I do.
