Blog 8

An example of one of the forms of advertising from Frederik's blog, it is a cloth business card.


One of the design blogs I frequent is http://www.frederiksamuel.com/blog/. Frederik is an artist specializing in designing for businesses ranging from web, brochure, packaging, and stationary design as well as branding and advertising. His blog is usually a commentary on advertisements and why they are successful or not, occasionally dotted with a random rant. He does a good job at scouring the globe for both visually pleasing and effective advertising. Some have used several of his posts as backgrounds for my cell phone and computer. This blog addresses how the design of each ad makes it successful or not. Another blog I watch is http://www.logodesignlove.com/. This blog is devoted to logos. It is run by a graphic designer named David Airey who is deeply interested with news and features from the logo design industry. He also has a section of resources for other designers. He also discusses how technology is helping to change the world of design. The blog and the comments it inspires are from a mix of designers and lay people just interested it the aesthetic appeal of the logos that punctuate their lives.
