Just to let you know that this blog is featured in Blogs: mad about design, a new book published by Page One and Maomao Publications. Blog, weblog, logbook these are words of our time, it felt like they appeared all over the place overnight. Although blogs exist since the end of the 90s, they definitely flourished in 2004. The desire to tell stories, to develop thought through dialogue was always there, so weblogs became a favorite tool to do so. It is as simple to create and publish a blog as it is to check your emails, therefore, content is what really makes the difference. Blogs: mad about design is a shortcut through the web jungle to the most interesting and exciting blogs related to graphic design.
