Best Graphic Design Articles

I went around to the top graphic design blogs on the net and asked their authors to choose their best or most popular graphic design article that they have ever written and here are the results. I present to you…The Best Ever Graphic Design Articles as chosen by the authors themselves.

They are in no particular order but I have organised them into categories.

  • Graphic Design
  • Web Design
  • Picture Based Posts
  • Tutorials
  • Other
  • Thought Provoking Articles

    This is great, it’s just what I was looking for. I’m always hoping to find great blogs and resources from others in the design field.

  40. cougar on Jan 30, 2009 said:

    I’m a graphic design student at South Dakota State, and I’ve been assigned to create a book cover using only two spot colors. I would like to use a real photo and convert it to a black spot color, and use a bright, light teal, or just another color on top of that but i have no idea how to do that in photoshop or if it even can be done…any help would be AWESOME….(also if you know how to use two spot colors and blending them to create a variety of colors with just the two spot colors that’d be amazing as well) THANKS

  41. Steve Constable on Feb 15, 2009 said:

    I like the guide to designing with black. If you first master black and simultaneous contrast you can move on to color with a stronger creative toolbox to use. :)

    Thanks for sharing the list. It will surely help many designers out there, especially those who are running short of time and inspiration. I personally found the article “How to use WordPress to build a website” by Creative Briefing very useful.
