10 Common Mistakes of Logo Design

When it comes to Logo design I think most GOOD designers will agree with these common mistakes.

Smashing Mag - 10 Common Mistakes

Blank a suprising blog that isn't a blog.

Marcus Piper is probably most famous for his work with the Pol Oxygen Magazine but his newest project 'Blank' is a creative blog that isn't a blog. So often the reason we visit any design blog is that it a takes us somewhere else. Marcus described it as 'a springboard to the world'.

The site features a simple navigation with forward slashes as buttons, behind every one is a surprise, a new location to visit.

A beautifully simple site and idea that lets you discover the works and inspirations of Marcus Piper.
If you have the time checkout some of his other projects including the much loved Pol Oxygen at http://www.marcuspiper.com.

Fashion-ation with Fashion

Fashion-ation is a fantastic online magazine with some excellent photography of some avant garde fashion shoots and editorial from around the globe. Well worth a look when looking for some inspiration for the magazine brief.

Design Observer

There is much to be learnt from listening to your piers. Design Observer is a design blog, with many great contributors. Can be quite highbrow and American (seems like a oxymoron). There are some interesting articles on a whole array of design subjects I particularly enjoyed Michael Bierut's post on 'Michael McDonough's Top Ten Things They Never Taught Me in Design School'. Useful tips for any designer.

It made me realise that Shillington is quite different to most design schools, fortunately we cover most of the subjects on his top ten on his list throughout the course.
