If I could only Read 10 Blogs: My favourite collection
A list of the top 10 blogs that I visit, not in any particular order
A concept inspired by Jacob Cass’ post over at Just Creative Design. I’ve put together my collection of the top 10 blog’s that I’d read if I could only choose 10. I tend to visit a lot of blogs, but there’s only a few which I will stay regularly updated on, & I’d recommend anyone who’s into Design / Development to follow these sites.
1. Outlaw Design Blog
I’m constantly impressed by the usefulness of Danny Outlaw’s posts.
2. Just Creative Design
A lot of quality content, and a big inspiration.
3. Smashing Magazine
Huge improvements with this site over the last few months.
4. VanDelay Design
Well written quality content & great topics.
5. Elliot Jay Stocks
I’m always interested in Elliot’s work & thoughts.
6. Blog Design Blog
A great guy and some very useful content on blog design.
7. Freelance Folder
Undoubtedly some very sound advice on freelancing.
8. Computer Love
Amazing posts full of great art & design links.
9. Fuel Your Creativity
A lot of great collections and links, great for inspiration.
10. Positive Space Blog
I love reading about Anthony’s opinions & thoughts.
There you go, a collection of the 10 blog’s that I’d choose if I had to pick just 10 to read. If you want to make your put together collection on your own blog link to and read here.

@Adelle My pleasure, I’m impressed with what you’ve got going on over at FYC.
@Fubiz, thanks very much & If I could have made the list a little longer you’d have certainly been on it
Was hard trying to cut them down.

@ Zinni appreciate it, glad so many fellow designers have embraced me. You wouldn’t get the sort of welcome I’ve got in any other industry, especially from other designers who are your “competition” in some ways, that’s why I love this industry everything’s a lot more friendly.
@Eftu & Dave, thanks very much for the comments, glad you liked the links.
@Jon Phillips I don’t think any list is complete without Freelance Folder, I’m relatively new to the site but I’ve loved reading every minute of it.
Steven Snell said:

@Steven - No worries about the mention, a well deserved mention I’d say!
@Bruce - Thanks, I tried to do something a little different then a standard screenshot, glad you like it
@Bamboo Forest - Cheers, but the comment was inspired by the post I linked to from JCD, but yeah one of the reasons I wanted to make a similar post was because I loved the title.

Loving how you present the screenshots, Liam. Much more creative than the standard 2D appearance I’d give. Was that with a camera, or using Photoshop’s skew and blur?

liam said:
@David - Yeah Photoshop, I tried with my camera but it’s not good enough, I definitely need a better camera. The advantages of using a camera is you get a real nice “pixelated” effect too which can look amazing done right.
