A round-up of round-ups

Posted by Antonea Nabors on May 26, 2010

Ok, I lied, this post doesn’t contain just round-ups. It also houses some of my favorite and in my opinion, some of the most inspirational blog posts thus far in 2010. I wanted to do this round-up because I’d like to think it can really be a great resource for a struggling designer looking for a flick of inspiration or a nudge of clarity. I keep all of these posts in my delicious bookmarks, which contains many more useful links for you to browse. If there is a round-up or article that has really inspired you, please share it in the comments. The more inspiration-rich content that can fit into this post, the better!

Awesome list Ant… just made some coffee, gonna go through all of them. Perfect timing, I’ve been so busy I kind of fell into production mode, and need to sit back and get back into design mode.

Hi Ant, glad you liked my post on self-employment. I stopped by the designer-daily post you referenced, and particularly like The Corner Deli identity. Bye for now.
