Blogs You Should Read (besides this one)

For those of you that are new to the blogosphere, or even seasoned veterans here are a couple of great design related blogs. I'll include them in the links, but I'll go into some detail about what they are.

The Design Journals,

Graphic design has always been the bastard child of art criticism, and especially with the dissolution of Emigre, it has become difficult to find printed design journals giving interesting, insightful and relevant design criticism. I've found the best place are the online magazines, blogs and company websites.

AIGA - the big person (gender is not p.c.) on campus, they have great articles by great designers talking about great things.

Speak Up - I find this site a little more approachable, with great articles frequently quoted elsewhere. They seem to be the design blog/journal standard.

Design Observer - I always mean to read more of this blog than I do. I is a very insightful and interesting site.

The Design Blogs,

It seems like a lot of blogs mine the internet for interesting stuff, put some links next to commentary and expect people to read it. So I try and do what's expected of me and here are a few of my favorites.

Be A Design Group - Mostly a podcast, the blog also has interesting posts that are design directed and has a very interesting voice. So listen to the podcast, read the blog and look forward to a guest appearance by your favorite BSU professors.

Pica and Pixel - My favorite new blog, it always has really interesting and concise post, I have it on my reader and always end up clicking over to read more and follow it. I think I is a great up and coming blog.

Other Blogs,

Ze Frank - it has a blog attached to it, but is just a really cool site that deserves checking out. He became more famous with his "the Show" project, which has a best of podcast that is worth subscribing to, if that's the kind of thing your into.

These are a few of the RSS's I feed out of; check them out, post about what you thought and what other blogs/sites you are inspired by.
