Four Innovative Design Blogs to Keep Your Design Team Motivated

In a world where we are constantly looking at and interacting with our devices, quality design is just as important as the technology running behind the scenes. Design has so many different aspects that must be considered for any project: colors, shape, size, usability, user preferences, balance, lines, white space, texture, just to name a few. To help keep their skills sharp and up-to-date, our designers at 729 Solutions are constantly reading, watching, and learning from a variety of innovative design-focused blogs.
