Good: Swissmiss

So here goes the first ‘good’ blog, swissmiss. Swissmiss is a blog ran by Tina Roth Eisenberg, “Swiss designer gone NYC.” The blog is mostly a collection of fresh and intelligent design, along with other things that catch Eisenberg’s eye. It currently ranks in the top 2000 on Technorati.

The power of swissmiss lies in its simplicity. The use of white space draws the eye appropriately, creating a streamlined design that’s easy to follow. With the plethora of design blogs around, the design of the blog itself is key in terms of differianting itself from the competition. This is how swissmiss has maintained highness on the blog ranks; the elegant and simplistic design does not overbear the reader. Putting too much on your blog, by way of multimedia, colors, etc., can really push away a reader. Keep it simple!
