10th: Abduzeedo
When I was working as a graphic designer on a freelance basis, Abduzeedo was one of my favorite sources of inspiration and not just that, it also encouraged me to start my own online publication a few years later. The blog was established in 2006 by Brazilian designer Fabio Sasso as a personal blog. Over the years, it evolved to a collective of several editors sharing articles about all forms of design and photography.

7th: Creative Review
Due to the fact that most of the content is only available with a paid membership, I decided to push it down from the top spot where it was in our 2019 selection. Anyway, because of the high-quality content and the importance of this publication for so many years, Creative Review still finds itself on a solid 7th place.

WE AND THE COLOR is an award-winning online magazine founded in May 2010. The site specializes in a variety of creative disciplines such as design, art, photography, architecture, illustration, fashion, motion graphics and filmmaking.
