School Is In Session – 100 Design Articles To Keep You Motivated : Part 1

Well ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of year again. Kids around the country are packing up their gear and heading off to school for another year of learning and excitement. This marks the end of the “social summer” (summer scientifically ends on Sep. 22). I hope that everyone has a fantastic year – whether you are still in school or are working the desks. Thus I present you with 100 design related articles to help get you motivated these first few days. I’ll be showing 20 articles per day for the next five days – so subscribe and stay tuned!

Want your site included in one of the next four parts? Drop a comment and let me know, or email me at brian[at]elitebydesign.com!

  1. Thanks for adding my article about music magazine ads, i really enjoyed making that one, really nice post as well, some interesting stuff youve got here,
    keep up the good work.

  2. A load of good info, thoughtfully chosen. A book designer and page composition specialist, I particularly enjoy reading about typefaces and typography. Might be boring to some, but if you’re featuring fonts, I’d love to see some new and different serif faces appropriate for long texts (books). I’d also appreciate your having a look at my site and especially my blog, accessible from my site, for featuring in one of the next four parts of this series.

  3. Thanks for the link. I also really like the phenomenal vector artists article. Their work is amazing.

    You just had to make it enticing. I’ve been a lurker for a while but I guess I am out of the shadows and a subscriber. Great post

  5. Brian says:

    @Max – Sure thing – thanks for the great post!

    @Stephen – I’ll be sure to take both a look at your site, and a look into some more typographically driven design articles. Thanks for the comment!

    @Steven – Sure thing, you’ve got some great articles! Keep it up!

    @Marcus – Nothing beats having lurkers come out of the shadows! Good to have you on board, and I look forward to seeing you around EBD this week :)

  6. Mohsen says:

  7. Brian says:

  11. Chad says:

    Great idea for a post.. you can check out my site and use any of the articles that you think might be good content for your site. I have a lot of big showcases, some really big articles are Cool Business Cards, Cooler Business Cards, We all love typography, 120 Brilliant Logos, and a wide range of different web showcase posts.

    Good luck

  12. Erika says:

    Oh wow, I hate that you broke it up! LOL Now I’m gonna have to keep an eye on my feed reader… as if I don’t have enough methods of procrastination! LOL

  13. Jacob Cass says:

    I was going to comment and say hey, that is only 20 but I quickly caught on thankfully… Thanks for the mention and good idea!

  14. Brian says:
