Designers Who Blog: Design, Illustration, Photography, Web, Advertising, Branding …

Back mid-March, the First Logoponds Awards Ceremony was announced. Today David emailed to say the winners were up. Excellent!

I’ve chosen to share the top 8 winners of the awards below, but you can see the winners in total at Logoponds here.

It was quite the job to get through all the winners with a snafu of a connection. But at the same time, a load of fun. Btw - be sure to check out the list of judges as they are a handsome bunch.

Essential Books for Industrial Designers

Now there’s someone who’s done his homework! Several months back a designer emailed me about this very same subject.

Said he was interested in being an Industrial Designer. Said he couldn’t find very much information about Industrial Designers.

Well, now he can.

Thanks DT!

Hands-on Web Hosting

I have a fondness for my hosting company. They are not only affordable, they give hands on service.

Just in case you didn’t know …

I’ve always said that Designers who Blog isn’t just about the blogs, but about the designers blogging. And instead of interviewing (which would take more time than the time I have), I share the faces of the blogging designers … and writers, programmers, marketeers and photographers (as the industries tend to overlap) via banner. And sometimes the back of the head, the ears, or the whole body. Or two.

The Mother(s) of all lists - what a mess

Sunday morning woke up to an email from Joe at abstractLatte. A simple request. To please edit his listing here at DWB.
