september’s favorite three

September 1st, 2010 · 6 Comments

Since my “favorite three” posts act as a blogroll, I’m remiss to have left out some of my top all-time favorites, which you probably read or at least know of! This month’s favorites are blogs that I consider “biggies,” the ones I always stay pretty caught up on, even when things get crazy busy.

Design Work Life is my go-to blog when I’m in a design rut. There’s always something super inspiring, and it always makes me say, “oh yeah, this is why I’m a designer!” If I’m burnt out on current projects or frustrated that I can’t put my finger on the right design solution, Design Work Life is my very first stop.

Lena Corwin is one of those people who can take the totally mundane and make it look fantastic. And who doesn’t need more people like that in their life? An extremely talented designer, Lena is always finding something beautiful (in it’s simplicity) to share.

Design for Mankind is always a fun place to visit. Erin Loechner does a superb job of curating her posts, and often makes me laugh out loud with her commentary. Lately I’m enjoying her house renovation project. From afar… whoa, guys.
