If Design Blogs Were People, Who Would They Be?
Measuring up blogs against human beings could be dangerous, but what the heck, let’s do it anyway. Late last year Chris Spooner wrote a article titled, “If Design Blogs Were Vehicles, What Would They Be? I thought it would be fun to follow up that post with this one and weigh the blogs up against people in the world. Now the people that will be affiliated with the blogs are obviously only ranked according to my opinion and not a sure sale list.
Let’s see what I have in store for you.
