Design reference research

As discussed in last week’s tutes, you may find it useful to employ some alternatives to Google in your search for good design references.

Delicious and Digg were a couple of services that were mentioned.

Delicious

Delicious.com

Digg.com

Digg.com

It is a good idea to follow up the designers of the sites that you like. In most cases those designers will have links to other works and other designers that will also be worth checking out.

In general, look for ways to create meaningful networks of references rather than just randomly searching the web.

    If anyone is interested, I’ve been bookmarking a bunch of sites in del.icio.us to show to my tutorial class which you can find under the ‘wdp’ tag here: http://delicious.com/chisa/wdp

    I have a few links that might be useful for design references tagged ‘inspiration’ and ‘trends’, as well as other bits and pieces you might find useful.
