11. Graffiti Art




Graffiti art has become widely popular and more appreciated in more recent decades. I specifically enjoy graffiti art because it is original and are seen randomly around cities. Some are done on trains or walls or abandoned buildings. It is beautiful how the colors are chosen and the details that can be seen in the artwork. I also find it fascinating because normally graffiti is associated with negativity like gangs, but graffiti artists are making it more acceptable and into something that can be appreciated.

10. Blog List

Two blogs that are centered around design are: Smashing Darling and Gizmodo. Both of the blogs cover extremely different topics but discuss the design and reason for the it. Smashing Darling covers new fashion and discusses the idea behind every design. It also contains interviews with some of the designers to that we may have a better understanding of what influences them. Gizmodo follows the latest technology and how these products were designed to make our life simpler. The website also makes recommendations about which products are best and how they could improve your lifestyle.
