Most graphic design blogs today can serve as a source of inspiration and creativity. I’ve recently run into a fantastic design blog covering everything from Photoshop to Typography. ilovecolors is a fantastic blog run by Elio Rivero, and I was lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes interview.

Just by glancing at the site’s theme you can already tell the level of professionalism on this blog, and I have to say the articles are extremely informative and well-written. Elio runs a fantastic and inspiring blog, and he’s got some great answers to how it was built and what he’s done along the way to make ilovecolors such a success.

Personally one of my favorite graphic design blogs on the web, Blog.Spoongraphics provides amazing resources, tutorials, and tips for graphic and web designers everywhere. The creator and designer of the blog Chris Spooner is also a freelance web designer himself, and I landed a great interview with him.

Chris Spooner demonstrates amazing ability through not only his portfolio, but also his very inspiring posts to Blog.Spoongraphics (one recently going over how he redesigned the Digg-Clone DesignBump). I am very excited to have such an inspiring interview with Chris, and I encourage all web designers and graphic designers to give it a look-over. Read More…
