Resources
Graphic Design Links has been updated
Graphic Design Links is a social bookmarking website for web and graphic designers, photographers and developers. It’s maintained by Andi Creffield, who also owns, among others, Estetica Design Forum.
On GDL you can find loads of design resources, ranging from typography, HTML or illustration to programming and Flash related content.
You can contribute to Graphic Design Links by signing up for a free account, and start sharing your design-related articles with other members.
It also has a really nice feature : you can add your design-related website RSS feed and your articles will get published on Graphic Design Links the moment they appear on your blog. You can add your RSS feed for consideration by making a comment here.
The new look of the website is fresher and more elegant. A new logo has also been designed and the website runs the latest version of Pligg Content Management System (v 9.9) so the makeover is complete.
