9 Bookmarking Sites for Designers

With loads of work and portfolios appearing left right and center from designers, its always nice to be able to share it amongst others in the profession. Weather your a social network wizard or just someone who wants a bit of feedback on work, articles or ideas the following 9 sites are pretty good for it. Plus they’ll generate you some traffic if your aiming to pull more people to your site. (Adapted from Mashable’s post once I had tested them)

Select the titles to visit the sites:


1)Design Bumb

designbump 9 Bookmarking Sites for Designers

Similar to digg and reddit, basically post something cool, get more, votes, get promoted to the front page and get more traffic/feedback. Nice aesthetic look to the site and provides lots of tools for integration onto blogs, Facebook etc.


2)Design Related

design related 9 Bookmarking Sites for Designers

A community based site that brings together designers and their work. You can sign up, log in and create your own portfolio, share stories/news and connect to other people in your discipline. Great for inspiration.


3)Image Spark

Instead of booking marking sites and blog posts etc you bookmark images. There’s even a handy toolbar download that will let you drag a box round a selected image and send it straight to the image spark website. Another great one for inspiration


4)Design Float

Big range of categories and one of the oldest going bookmarking sites. They have a great design rss feed with regular updates of inspiring design related topics.


5)Graphic Design Links

Similar to Design Bump but specializing in graphic design. They have a handy tag cloud page for when your browsing for designs.


6)The Webblend

the web blend 9 Bookmarking Sites for Designers

A small community so far of about 2,000 members which isnt always a bad thing! It has some top industry deign bloggers who know their stuff another good one for the Rss


7)Za Box

Good for integration into your website and another site which offers top voted material on the front page and a good selection of categories.


8)FFFFound

ffffound 9 Bookmarking Sites for Designers

Awesome for finding the weirdest and coolest images on the web, unfortunately they only accept membership on a special invite, think its to keep the content good, which it is.


9)Pixel Groovy

A great site for top tutorials arranged nicely in categories and order. The community picks out the best ones to be on the site and most relevant to each category.

Again thanks to Mashable for initially supplying the sites, great content from them as always.

The Cardboard Box That Fits Anything Perfectly

A waste of time or a great innovational piece? It can be folded into any size box and a wide range of  different shapes, handy for all those awkward pieces of Ebay items you need to send. I wonder how solid the box itself is?

Day 5

Well terrible night sleep last night…Why cant someone invent something so that we don’t have to sleep anymore! Also smashed something in the morning whilst getting it out of the dish washer, so overall bad start to the day. From this it got me thinking about other things that can smash, or more so that cant smash but could possibly be made to look like they have so I started to More »

Day 4

Well same old usual sleep, weather is looking pretty grim outside which I should expect I suppose being in England. Today was pretty simple I looked around my room for things I could shape into objects. I wanted to use something that I could manoeuvre and keep together whilst creating a form, similar to peeling an orange all in one go! So I used some string and toilet paper to More »

Well sleep was fairly average. Woke up and jumped straight onto my RSS feeds again and came across another article about Art and the community it was basically discussing, weather art should be embraced as a community or individually and then went onto talk about many aspects of togetherness and apart. Take a look at a brief part of it below: More »
