As designers, one of our motivations is stay up to date with what's new in the design world, so that we can improve our craft.

But it seems like every day, there is a shiny new spot for design resources. It could be a new Tumblr, a new mailing list, a new Twitter account, Facebook page, you name it. How does one sift through it all? We can't read every new piece of design content, so we have to be selective.

I try to curate my list of resources every so often. I subscribe to many things, but if the content is not great, I will unsubscribe. Below are my go-to places for timely and rich design content (in alphabetical order):
