Youtube and Graphic design

I would have never thought about looking for graphic design stuff on youtube. But why not? Looking around I have found several awesome presentation via youtube. I guess Youtube does have everything!
graphic design portfolio This is about a 4 minute portfolio presentation of somebodys work. It shows Logo designs, ads, fliers, posterwork, packaging design. Very well done!
another one Here is another video I had found. It is a lot shorter than the first one but still well done! What I like about this one is his color choice. Lots of yellows and reds.

graphic design magazines

Layers Magazine Here is a magazine that I had found online. This magazine is about Photoshop…It is pretty in depth! I have never looked at this magazine before but I have found it to be really well put together.

graphic exchange news here is another great resource for graphic designers! This E-zine is pretty well laid out. It contains stories, interviews, etc. The really cool thing is they have archives so you can research way back or just browse around.

I love fake magazine Whoah…A really cool concept that I can really dig…Fashion and art! I really love how the website is constructed. Very clean and straight to the point! You can very easily access back issues and flip through them…an you can even download PDF’s of the is magazine. very cool..I highly recommend you check it out!

web design resources

Looking around the world wide web for web design resources…I did manage to find some sites that are very helpful. Its amazing to know that you can find just about anything on the internet! I do not know how some people live without it…

web design resources is a huge website with 75 helpful web designs. everything in this website and links is everything you need to help you build a website. It has links to stock photo’s, tutorials, typography, blogs, etc. I am lucky to find this site because it is very helpful for inspiration and to help find out more info and tips on creating a website.

another website that I already knew about is gomedia I really love this site because it gives me great inspiration on what other graphic/web designers are doing right now. What I also love is the free brushes, and vector art that you can obtain there! (you have to look for the resources to obtain these). If you go there you will be amazed on the work being done today!

3 graphic designers

Believe it or not I really dont know a lot of graphic designers that inspire me. I do have a ton of artists that I admire but I could not think of anyone particular. But I did search around and found some Graphic designers that are amazing! I guess this is a start….

1. Francesco Mugnai I saw his website and I was amazed on how well designed it is! Its pretty simple layout but still amazing. His artwork varies from web design to photo manipulations. I love his choice of colors!

2. David Friedman What attracted my attention was his typography art of Darth Vader…I am a huge Star Wars fan and I am amused by what people are influenced by the films. Again a very solid website, with blogs about his art.

3. Nick Dewar I am a huge fan of illustration…and its nice to know some people use it in their designs. Nick’s designs are very clean and they look like they could be used for a variety of mediums (web design, paintings, rock poster art etc). The website is very clean and neatly organized…just like his art.
