I first discovered Jessica Hische while taking a class on Skillshare and have been a big fan ever since then. I don’t check it regularly but am never disappointed when I do.
2. Pinterest
Pinterest is always a go-to of mine for inspiration, and searching “graphic design” only makes it better. It’s a great one-stop-shop for inspiration, tutorials, cool products, and more.

The Dieline is a packaging design blog, but also includes examples of ads, fantastic lettering, and of course amazing packaging.

A fun compilation of resources, articles, templates, and freebies

This was a favorite of mine in college for inspiration, as well as tutorials.

Is anyone surprised that this made my top 10 list?

Brand New is the absolute best place to read about logo updates for major companies. There are a lot of other good things on there as well, but that is my favorite part.

Creative Bloq shares a lot of features with the other blogs on my list, but I really like UI and layout of this particular blog.

Paper Source is a dangerous place for my wallet, but scrolling through the blog is slightly safer. But only slightly.

This is another one I don’t always remember to check regularly, but it is easy to quickly scroll through and get caught up.
