Showcase of Creative Blogs with Totally Original Design

These days is so hard to be original, especially in the web design field. But some of the blogs we came across lately are so totally authentic that we felt the need to showcase some of them in a special post. Also, please check Showcase of Outstanding Agency Blogs.

    The list is incomplete – you forgot my blog design :)

  • Doug C. December 7, 2009

    In case you’re interested here’s the addy: http://dcblog.net

  • Design Ideas December 7, 2009

    Amazing designs. Anyway I love simple and minimalistic designs

  • Josh December 7, 2009

    Thanks for featuring Tripping Words. :)
    Some of the designs showcased are really good!

    Cheers

  • Keggy December 7, 2009

    You missed http://10words.richpurple.com
    You should really put lot of effort before writing such posts

  • Luke Jones December 7, 2009

    Some great websites here.

    I recently re-did my website with a blog.

  • Design informer December 7, 2009

    Very nice designs. Tripping Words is awesome!

  • C December 7, 2009

    Not to be mean, but every site listed on here with exception to the starbucks site, is on every list about this topic going around this/last month.

  • Web Trindade December 7, 2009

    WP rock!

  • John December 7, 2009

    How did Style Boost make it to the list. I mean, it’s not the worst design (I actually like it a lot), but ‘Totally Original’ might be a little too much honor.

  • cssah December 7, 2009

    Very interesting blogs ,A Way Back is very useful for me .

  • John December 7, 2009

    Oh, and blogs/portfolio’s that start out with “Hello, I am [name here]” are very, very far from original. Let’s stop doing that people!

  • Lionhart December 7, 2009

    Keggy, I doubt this was meant to be an exhaustive list. You brought in a great example, which is good, but your last comment was unnecessary.

  • Aaron Besson December 7, 2009

    Dont forget my new site: http://aaronbesson.com

    really trying to make it worth visiting every now and then

  • Edgar Leijs December 7, 2009

    something different in here! Movie Titles is coool!

  • Troy December 7, 2009

    I love the irony here…

  • Luis Lopez G. December 7, 2009

    What About Abduzeedo, Veerle’s Blog, Inspired Mag and the rest.

    Cool blogs dude, keep rocking, I’m in love with Movie Titles too.

  • mikeo December 7, 2009

    i too like a more minimalist approach – but that being said, some nice sites you have posted there.

  • ThisIsInspired December 7, 2009

    I like to see the trends in posts like this; It’s interesting to see the same basic idea executed so many ways.

  • Yofie Setiawan December 7, 2009

    Nice list…

  • Anthony Licari December 7, 2009

    Yeah a few of these are more design based rather than informative but that’s not always a bad thing. Starbucks for example can focus on presentation over function/content. Sometimes when these sites are trying to display information that’s important yet have wild designs I can’t decide what I should be paying attention to.

  • Destiny Islands December 7, 2009

    These really are creative, nice collection thanks for the inspiration this late at night :)

    Don’t forget about Destiny Islands blog’s theme – http://blog.destinyislands.com/

  • Waheed Akhtar December 7, 2009

    Nice list. Love the simplicity of “A Way Back”

  • Matt December 7, 2009

  • James December 8, 2009

    Love the minimalism of A Way Back, no Jason Santa Maria though, or is he a given?

  • Chris December 8, 2009

    Some funny stuff here and there, but nothing revolutionnary at the end.
    Personally, I dont call “webdesigners” people who make websites for 1680x1050px screens only.

  • Sticker printing December 8, 2009

    That’s really great work all designs are very cute i like these design.
    Thanks for share it.

  • Preston December 8, 2009

  • Troy January 5, 2010

    just realized my previous comment made me sound like a real tool….

    i had misread the article title… thought it said “original content”

    and attempted (and failed) at cracking a joke…

    sorry.

  • The Graphic Post January 25, 2010

    Love it. Only site I wanted to visit (Movie Titles) is forbidden. LOL.

  • vasare design January 25, 2010

    Nice list, wish my blog was ever that good to be mntioned! :(
