Blog Designs: 50 Of The Most Creative

Author: Tom Category: Blogging
43 Comments

I visit a lot of blogs every day and am always coming across new ones with amazing designs. Which gave me the thought that, with blog design being such an important element of the blogging process, why don’t I spend some time searching out some of the most creative blogs to provide some inspiration for those looking to design a new theme for their blog, or even those who just want to take a peak at whats on offer.

There were so many wonderful designs and I could have quite easily made this a top 100 or even 200, but I only wanted to display what I saw as the most creative blog designs out at the moment. So here 50 of the most creative blog designs around! (In no particular order)…

    Tom,

    Good list, but psd Rockstar is actually using a free theme that anyone can use. I installed on my book blog one time and then took it down.

    Adam

    PS. Stumbled for coolness.

  2. Tom said on  October 16th, 2008 at 7:43 am

    Did not know that! well that is the most creative free template then :D

    Excellent roundup, though some of them are already quite well known for their design.
    I really wish Web Designer Wall and Malene Hald posted more often… maybe they’ll hear me ?

    A great list! Thanks for taking the time to compile it. My favorite would have to be http://contolini.com/chris/
    but when you go to the blog there isn’t really any content. So the design my drive you in but it’s the content that is going to keep you there and coming back. I read a lot of blogs that have bad designs but great content. How many people go to blogs/sites with great design but bad content?

    Hey Tom,

    I’ve got to say that Brett Darnell did a nice job of design on my site. I found it was worth the dollars spent for this great design. Thanks for the mention.

    I wish I could design like that. Although I have to say I’m slightly disappointed my minimalist theme didn’t make the list!

    Thanks for including PCT among these other fantastic designs.

    I look at a lot of these types of posts to find inspiration for various projects – the one thing I really love about yours is that I’ve discovered so many new designs I haven’t seen before.

    Cheers, and great job!

    This is an interesting selection with a lot of the usual suspects. Lots of very cool graphics. But thats what I would call the list “50 designes with oodles of cool graphics” rather than “the most creative”. Perhaps I have a different idea of creativity, but when I look at the list I get a general impression of “cool but noisy” – the sites have the standard shape and size, standard typography, standard everything except a load of iconography scattered about the background like a teenager’s bedroom.

    clutter = creative, really?

    To me the ones that show the most creativity in this list are the ones where you dont get that feeling of clutter falling out of a closet, but where there is a clear style and purpose emerging – a line, a research, an idea.

    Had a lot of debates back at school as to the nature of art versus design, and what was “creative” versus what was “clever”…

    I guess I have a different notion of creativity, that comes from following a set of ideas and breaking through constraints to create something surprising, interesting, and fresh.

    Cool sites though
