My Core Website to Visit!

My favorite website to visit is Core77.

This site encompasses all there is to know about Industrial Design. Core77 is more then just an information hub, it also doubles as a great resource for all industrial designers--practicing and those just beginning.

What makes this site so fantastic, other then being easy to navigate, is that it offers so much information on design all in one easy to find spot.

Core77 gives you the most current information like:

  • Articles related to design news, current design trends, and the like.
  • Insight on design events from all over the globe- like the London Design Festival of 2010.
  • Current design competitions that you can participate in.
  • Book Reviews on design
  • New Materials or technology
  • Interactive discussion feeds
  • Information on design firms from around the world
  • The best is Coroflot! This is an actual “social site” so to say, where students and designers can post their online portfolios, interact with one another and view job/internship postings.

Great Headlines!
With Core77 being geared towards creative designers, the site is complete with nice graphics, cool pictures and fun headlines- like the one below for a poster design competition.



Great News!
Each article is short and to the point. All you really need to know about the topic is well written and explained with the most common design language.

Learn Design Jargon!
This also doubles as a great learning tool for student designers to become familiar with studio jargon.

Serious About Design!
Anyone who is serious about design is mostly likely very familiar with this site.

To say the least Core77 is a more then just a great place to gain the most current knowledge of what is happening in the design world. It is also a place for designers to get recognized, socialize and find employment opportunities.

  2. This was a great blog and was actually the first blog I read because the graphic really jumped out at me. More graphics such as this will make the blog much more interesting to read.
