27 Promising New Design Blogs And Websites of 2009

By Sneh Roy on Thursday, 16 July 200923 Comments

If you have been following my blog for the past few weeks, you must have realized that things get done a bit differently on here. You must have seen plenty of "The Best Design Sites To Follow" or "99 Design Blogs That Are a Must Follow" lists. Well, what about the not so very old and established design blogs and sites which show a lot of promise? A-haaa, I hear you say. Fret not, for today I have an awesome roundup of fresh and new design sites and blogs on the creative horizon today. These sites are either just newly launched or are barely few months old. They come from all walks of design, some shy new siblings of big brother and some the adventurous efforts of just another creative [like yours truly]. There is a lot of great reading material on these sites. References, resources, inspirations, freebies and learning tools are amongst the many little gems you will find hidden on the pages of these sites. Check these sites out, follow them if you wish , they are all raring to go! [These are in no particular order, I put them in as I went along browsing them]

Simple, subtle and beautiful! It’s all that I can say about your blog. I have read similar articles elsewhere, but your list is simply the best. “Cart Frenzy” is awesome. “We Love Typography” is also amusing.
