    I’m not sure how you did this, but you completely left out my directory, http://www.Xemion.com! Ranked #1 for web designer directory and #3 for web designers. The Xemion directory is focused primarily on website designers, but we do have categories for graphic designers. Otherwise though, great list! Very useful!

    Great list!

  10. Funner   -   September 21, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    It is a very good list; regarding the Design Galleries & Portfolio Sites you should also add FantastiCSS http://www.fantasticss.com/ which shows only the best CSS designs on the planet.

    One area designers should look to is sites that can create partnerships with you. Longer term value in creating your own IP/creative pieces rather than working for a day rate. Not suggesting give up the day rate work but try to think about creating multiple lines of income,find sites that will work with you, if you have the creative ideas and content then they may have a channel to sell them for you

    Sometimes all you need to do is go down to a local punk rock show to find a brilliant designer ;)

    Great list of online resources – need to get onto a few of them.

  17. michellediva   -   October 14, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    True, a lot of great talent resides on the sites mentioned above, however one thing that I know is important to buyers/clients is how fast and easy they can find what they are looking for. Especially when working on pressing deadlines.

    Well done! What a great service to designers interested in getting their work online, and seen more often.
