Colorburned | Graphic design resources, tutorials, and more! Arts graphiques : 19 sites pour suivre les tendances | All For Design Tout d’abord je tiens à m’excuser du manque de posts sur ce blog depuis quelques temps. Entre le travail, ma petite femme et une semaine « off », je n’ai pas vraiment eu le temps de faire de nouveaux articles… Pour me rattraper un peu voici une sélection de 19 sites (magazines, blogs, galeries) qui vous permettront de suivre les tendances actuelles en matière de création graphique. Design, Graphisme, Photographie, Animation, Typographie, Web design etc… Voici une petite sélection de mes endroits favoris du web… 1983 est selon son auteur un « journal/scrapbook » sur le design. Abduzeedo est le blog de Fabio Sasso, un designer Brésilien. Behance Network est un réseau permettant aux créatifs de présenter leur travaux mais également de créer des groupes de travail. Creative Tempest est une galerie présentant des artistes talentueux. Pour ceux qui ne connaitraient pas encore Deviant Art, ce site est une véritable mine d’or de la création en tous genres. Yay!
