You might have just begun your career as a web/graphic designer working for agencies as an employee, or has managed to break out of the office life and started working as a freelancer, enjoying the freedom of working from home. However, you will find no matter what you do, learning will never stop and in fact, it’s the only way you can improve and survive in this competitive industry.
Blogs have become a great resource for designers for a long time and there are tons of useful tips and tricks you can absorb and use for your own works. Among the vast sea of design-related blogs, there are serveral primary ones which attract majority of attention from the design community every day.
The webmasters of those design blogs are designers, but they’re also entrepreneurs – they have turned their blogs into huge communities, loved by millions of people around the globe.
In this post, I collected Interviews of 15 Absolute Top Designer Bloggers on this Planet and put into one place. Hopefully they will inspire you and learn from the experiences they shared in those interviews.
Here goes the list, enjoy! (Please note that by click on the image will take you to actual interview)
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the popular design blog Webdesigner Depot. In much less than a year WDD has become one of the leading blogs in the niche. I recently had a chance to interview the man behind WDD, Walter Apai.

Brian Hoff is a one of those folks in the design community that make logo design look effortless. His logos are sleek and elegant. A fantastic acid test for a logo is how well it displays in black and white. Given that Brian’s logo gallery is entirely in black and white, yet looks stunning, I’d say he gets an ‘A’ on that test. Oh yeah, he is also a very good web designer and blogger. Brian was kind enough to answer some questions here on MyInkBlog, check out the insight he shares in the answers that follow.
