The Not So Famous Design Blogs To Follow List

26 Jun

I’ve seen the same list of famous design blogs to follow floating around the inter-web for at least a year now. Lets move on from the “WooHoo” Smashing Magazine and “Rock On” Web Designer Depot (these blogs rock by the way and you should follow them). Lets give the little guys a push and a shove into the lime light. Let’s give a hand to the small guy who is just trying to make a name in the design community. A lot of these so called “little guys” are publishing amazing articles almost daily and I see them being lost under the weight of the “Big Guys” news feeds. So I propose a challenge. Add these guys to your news reader for a month and then decide which blogs to keep and which to toss. Give the little guys a chance to shine. So with now further ado: The not so famous design blogs to follow list.

* Let’s get my site out of the way first…

Conclusion

Give these blogs a shot and see what they have to offer that the big guys don’t. What have you got to lose? If you know of any other “little guys” let us know in the comments. Waiting to see what you all can dig up.

    Hey Lucas, i think this kind of list would be done more often. As you said there is a lot of new (and not new) blog design guys shooting out daily, weekly really good stuff.

    I must confess i only follow design juices and you but I´ll check it out the other guys here and in near future i may do a similar post because i do think we need to support a bit this new valuable guys.

    Well, i really appreciate you´ve put me on the list. I´ll do my best to high the quality level on my own blog.

      I really appreciate your posts as well and follow your blog religiously. The tips and tricks on there cannot be beat. I really know a lot of the little guys are pushing out amazing content and I don’t want it to go to the black hole of the internet. It needs to be seen and shared. It is part of the community. Can’t wait to see who you come up with for your blog.

    Great list i really respect design juices, Nenuno Creative, and AdmixWeb. I really hope they get bigger, because they deserve it!

    • Lucas Cobb 28. Jun, 2010 at 10:08 am #

      They will get bigger and become powerhouses in the future.

    Great list! Definitely some deserving mentions. Would love to see more of these =)

    • Lucas Cobb 28. Jun, 2010 at 10:10 am #

      Just giving credit where credit is due. These blogs pump out amazing content every day and are true diamonds in the rough.

    Hi Lucas, nice post really! Many “small” blogs deserve mentions for their great content and effort. I’d like to suggest http://webexpedition18.com by Nikola Lazarevic (@colaja on Twitter). Cheers!

  7. Richie 28. Jun, 2010 at 12:06 pm #

    Good Idea Lucas. I think there are many design blogs which need the exposure they deserve… I am quite frankly bored to see “roundups” from famous design blogs …. Every day I see many new sites which publish exceptional good content but they are not able to properly promote them… I hope this article and many more to come will put them into the spot light….

    Also, i love your articles, Lucas.. they are in-depth and extremely useful for beginners. I’m not at all surprised you top the list ;) I will work harder to get my blog in your next article of non-famous design blogs :)

    Thanks for the heads up :)

    • Lucas Cobb 28. Jun, 2010 at 12:44 pm #

      Richie, thanks so much for your kind words. I follow your blog as well and really appreciate your hard work.

      On a side note: everyone should go check out RichWorks as well. Follow this blog.

  8. chris 28. Jun, 2010 at 12:14 pm #

    Great List! Design Juices is my favourite!

  9. Designer Freelance 28. Jun, 2010 at 12:57 pm #

    What a great idea, as Richie says not every blog got the exposure it deserves. I follow 3 of this sites and they are publishing amazing articles.

    Like Cyrus I would appreciate if you take a look at our blog: http://www.designerfreelance.net. Tell me what you think about it.

    Again thanks for a Great post.

    I’d love you to take a look at my site too, my work gets featured on alot of blogs or indeed it is taken! My blog seems to go under the radar a little. So please take a look and let me know what you think – thank you!

    Hello Lucas
    I like Nenuno Creative …. This Looks like other professional websites . I think in all the little ones exist a future. They must keep the good job for there future. We also mus support them because they need help from us in understanding what they do not.

    Keep the good job …
    Best regards

    • Lucas Cobb 30. Jun, 2010 at 8:47 am #

      Nenuno is one of my favorites even before I partnered with Dan.

    I’m not sure if my blog counts as “not so famous”, since I get a fair amount of traffic, but I’m pretty sure it’s not making any of the big blog lists either.

    You have a way with words, but remember by and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth

      Interesting thought. I’ll keep that in mind when I write.
