Retinart is the perfect example of an individual that is completely inspired by design. The site features a graphic designer that eats, sleeps, and breathes design. His insight and knowledge about the world of graphic design is very keen and his writings are very thought provoking and exciting. As Retinart claims. it is certainly a grouping of "reflections on the joyous elegance of graphic design & creative thought."
"My goal is to write about anything that ticks both boxes of beauty and intelligence. Design theory and history and philosophy doesn’t have to be boring and dull and dusty. There are so many wonderful images to go ga-ga over, clever ideas that make us smile and powerful ways to pluck at our emotions. All I want to do is for us to understand why while we look at those pretty pictures and talk about it with others who want to dig deeper."

History of Graphic Design is a site that encompasses a vast amount of information in a simple, intuitive format. As the name states this site is a history of graphic design, and it delivers with an even coverage of design history which spans the globe. Perfectly suited for educating a class on the important events of graphic design history, this site offers viewers a large amount of research and imagery.
This site utilizes a methodology that is appropriate for spreading information to a large audience and this site has "devised this unique system of presenting the material by subject, rather than timeline, to help design students link this history to their various studio disciplines."
