I read many design websites - more specifically I read websites that designers maintain. Here are some of the graphic designers that I have plugged into Google Reader:

All of these are Canadian designers who I have had some interaction with or have been pointed to by colleagues. I like being able to listen and participate in design conversations that happen in design across Canada - I find it shrinks the geography of this massive country a bit. Do you have a design blog, or do you find yourself reading one regularly? Leave a link in the comments and I'll be sure to check it out!

I'm not sure if this is relevant to your entry or not but I really like DIY crafts so I tend to gravitate towards the Craft blogs. For example Design Sponge who have a mix of interior design, graphic design, and some really interesting tutorials on how to make different things out of everyday objects around the house. I am a newly graduated graphic designer so just looking at other peoples styles can really be inspirational.

Smashing Magazine is a great Graphic Design website full of information about award winning design and links to some amazing websites.

I was thinking more of individual designers with blogs.. but those will certainly do. I've been reading Smashing for a while and they're consistently interesting. I'm not familiar with Design Sponge .. I'll have a look. Thanks for sharing Hannah!

I'm a designer. I blog. Though not as often as I'd like to... ;P http://muhsashum.blogspot.com/

If you haven't checked it out yet, visit the GDC Manitoba Chapter's Communication Chair, Jeope Wolfe's blog at http://jeope.blogspot.com/ - always awesome.

This is interesting! I just started blogging recently to learn about the medium and as a promotional web presence while I re-create my web site and had a pre-conceived idea of what blogging was all about. Now that I'm into it and exploring the contributions of so many smart and talented people I've begun to realize this is like a universal book store, how wonderful!
