Tags: Web Design, Blogging, Design, Graphic Design, Web Development

It’s 2017, and I hark back to sharing best places which are mines of inspiration and information, and where you can find a lot of brilliant tips. This time I will present you a list of truly inspiring design blogs highlighted by our Graphic Designers.

Thomas A. Edison said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” I can’t fully agree — when it comes to web design (and design in general), inspiration plays a huge role, it’s an essential part of the creative process.

When you’re a Graphic Designer, you have to stay up to date with fresh web design trends. You need to spot things regularly, read articles and books as well as scour the internet to get inspired.

If you’re looking for the best design blogs to follow, you’re in the right place. Merixstudio’s folks put together the hottest IT blogs that you can bookmark and come back to when you need a dose of inspiration or information (check out Best Frontend Blogs and Tech Blogs You Need to Follow in 2017). Here you have design blogs selected by us, which challenge us to break out of our unexpected.

This is the blog where you find the latest and greatest news, resources, tips and techniques for web designers. Since 2010 when Webdesigner Depot was founded, it has been read all over the world. It’s also covering the business side of design work and working as a freelancer.
