I have come to appreciate ,and become highly critical of the graphic art that surrounds us in society.Unlike before I started school, not so much.Lately I have been looking at different websites that bring together all different types of design such as architecture, fashion, graphic, product,and digital design. A really helpful website I came across was www.dexigner.com.It has tons of information, job opportunities, and the latest design news feeds you could ever imagine and all being on one website.I think its so important to keep up to date with the design world so we as designers can be aware of the different changes that affect our work.Being more involved and communicating with companies and designers more will also help land a good career after school.Anyways this site is awesome for keeping up to date with the many different aspects to design in the industry.
http://feeds.designcollector.net/graphic-design is another fabulous website that stores different medias of design such as graphic, motion, interactive,photography, fashion,product, and architecture and interior design.Like dexigner, it has loads of news feeds and information on the latest design trends in every category of design, but it focuses more on the actual art work and design pieces.It is a more visual based website that provides the best finished artwork from every area of design.I found this website overwhelming and inspiring at the same time as I looked through page after page of the most freshest modern graphic designs. For inspiration (which many of us need from time to time), this website has the most diverse selection of examples to choose from.
Anyways after looking at these sites,they have really helped me sustain a fresh new outlook when I design things. Also these websites helped me with being more informed in the design work world.There is so much to look at and read, I found it hard to not take my eyes off each page. I hope these sites broaden your design perspective like it did for me!
This is some of the graphic art I found on feeds.designcollector.net. In the graphic section they have everything from logos, cd covers ,photography, and different types of artsy commercials or music videos.
