Surfing in the brand-o-sphere

* * * *   1 votes

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Last night I discovered/re-discovered a few new design,brand & culture sites. Initially I was looking at Behance Network a creative network/community and from there found a good list of sites, portfolios & blogs. This then led me to Frog Design’s blog Frog Blog which contains lots of intelligent discussion about Innovation, branding and product design. Frog Blog then led me to CULTUREMAKING which was an enjoyable intellectual investigation of branding - lots of good stuff in there. Then onto the Buzz Bin which deals with branding within the social community side of things and then  finally onto  ideasonideas which is more design/branding focused. This was really just the start, but enough to get my head into some interesting concepts as they happen at the ‘coal-face’.
