Top blogs
I have only just started to actively search out and subscribe to blogs, I was initially put off by the generally low standards of writing and the obscurity of the content. That changed recently when I found Iain Tait and Russell Davies' blogs and became an immediate fan of both.
Well written by people with an understanding of design but without being a geeky trawl of the graphic environment. I recommend both and i'm looking for more.
I'm also interested in the niche blogs out there, 'Who needs friends...' is a great blog about pens by illustrator/designer Richard Hogg. Insightful and knowledgeable it really strikes a chord with me.
So I was wondering if anyone else has any good blogs they'd recommend, not necessarily just design blogs (but that'd be a good start) anything that has caught you eye. Video blogs and picture blogs would be good too. I also recommend the Daily Monster, a great example of a video blog.
So post them as comments below and share the wealth
