We scoured the web to find the names of top graphic designers and agencies who also ran blogs. We compared blog comments for mentions of other designers, blog rolls, etc., and came to a general-consensus list of what are considered the most visited blogs by the top graphic designers and graphic design agencies.
This list is not our opinion of the best graphic design blogs, but rather (we stress) the current consensus of what search results and blog chatter reveal them to be. Zero opinion factor
The length of the list was simply limited by time. If you are sure someone is missing, let me know and I’ll be glad to add it!

Would have to agree with this list, some top quality blogs here! Thanks for the inclusion of JCD as well, much appreciated. Hope to see your blog up there soon Douglas!
Hey Jacob. I simply did the math, that’s all – and there you are! As usual
You’ve done an outstanding job. As you head towards 30,000, I’ll work on 30 by keeping it interesting and frequent. Congrats again!
The first 3-6 months are the hardest work, keep at it as it snow balls out as your site gains exposure and gathers faster momentum.
Hi Jacob: I really believe in the “hardest work” aspect of running a blog you mention. The one common denominator seems to be that there is simply no replacement for writing original content and making consistent posts. It also seems to be true even if a site isn’t totally optimized right for SEO, good content, good publicity, and good social networking will overcome (to a degree) poor SEO optimization.
I agree with you Douglas – the fact is that you can optimize everything on your site perfectly, but if you dont something interesting to say, it isn’t going to be successful. Hard work, a bit of SEO and great content is what matters – looks like you are on your way!
