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.

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.
