There is a great list of graphic design blogs that the guys from ProofHQ compiled. They decided to sit down and put together a list of all the different blogs each of them follow. By the end of the day they had a great list of over 160 blogs covering design, freelancing and Photoshop/Illustrator. Check out there post, The Biggest Ever List of Graphic Design Blogs. Some of the blogs listed include BittBox, BoagWorld, Design Meltdown, Nettuts+, Pro Blog Design, Sitepoint, and many more. Also, among this list you will see my site listed, tonynaccarato.com and 325studio.com. It’s an honor to be among some of the great blogs out there, thanks!

Purple States

I was recently contacted by a group called Purple States about sharing some of my thoughts on the economy and how the recession has affected my life. They asked me to create a video with me talking about my thoughts and some of the images that are associated with the things I talked about. Even though I’m a little embarrassed by it, here is the results.

Here is also a quick video about the hobbies of each of the participants.

Here is a little more information on Purple States.

Purple States is a dynamic new media company that transforms the best features of digital and established media into an original and valuable synthesis. Purple States taps into the raw energy, the unfiltered authenticity, and the dynamic interactivity of user-generated content on the web, and distills this diffuse material into the story of a group of ordinary people covering the news Ð a story with the coherence, high production values and watchability associated with traditional media. Purple States has pioneered people-powered broadcast-quality news coverage on television, the internet, and mobile platforms. During its first two seasons, Purple States has aired weekly documentary series on NYTimes.com, washingtonpost.com, Verizon V-Cast, and local television. Continue reading…

Think BIG

We get what we expect.

In other words, our outcomes are a clear reflection of our thoughts. If you set modest goals (as I so often have in the past), you’ll get modest results.

But if you think BIG; set lofty goals; and take steady, focused action, you’ll achieve tremendous success.

Thanks Ed Gandia

Testimonial

I have been using a proofing system called ProofHQ and it is one of the better ones I’ve seen and used. It has been really easy to learn and get my clients to learn it as well. I just noticed that I was recently added to their customer testimonial section. Here is a snapshot of it here.

Font Conference

This was sent to me by my sister. I guess my constant complaining about never using Comic Sans and my persistence about one space after a period is showing my family what is important to me…typography. This is a great little film and one that deserves to be spread around.

“8. At meeting to which you have traveled at your own expense, client informs you that he doesn’t have a budget per se, but is open to “trading services.””

20 signs you don’t want that web design project by Jeffrey Zeldman.

I should have read this about a month ago. Oh well, live and learn.
