I find this particular link extremely helpful. It's a website called BittBox that offers up a wide variety of useful tidbits for the aspiring graphic designer. Right now he's not posting often enough to merit a daily check, but I've got it listed in my RSS feed and find something useful almost every time he updates. Sometimes it's a quick lesson on Illustrator or Photoshop, sometimes it's a cool new font he's discovered, sometimes it's free vector art to use in your own work (or any of a variety of other free bits and pieces from button designs to art brushes). Sometimes it's just a link to something that inspired him (I'm less interested in those, since his inspirations don't quite seem to mesh with my own style, but that's just me).
this has been started because a group of design nerds want a little more out of design school, design work, design play and design life. just like a brainstorming session this blog hopes to spark good conversation, hot debates, and a view into the design souls of its creators. who are its creators? they are overworked, underfed, design junkies that love thoughtful creation, abstract expression, and beer.
the rules:
rule number one: you always comment on what you post
rule number two: you ALWAYS comment on what you post
rule number three: if someone says "no need for I.D.", goes lame, taps out, the blog is over
rule number four: all people can talk at once
rule number five: one fight at a time
rule number six: clothing is optional
rule number seven: comments will go on as long as they have to
rule number eight: if you enter rm9, you have to add to the collective
