NEW YORK.- Any visual designer will tell you, it’s a constant challenge to keep technical skills up to date and remain creatively inspired. After all, the visual design world changes at the pace of imagination. To stay on top of the trends – technical, aesthetic, professional - a designer must always be a student of design, looking for new tools and sources of inspiration.

Sessions Online Schools of Art and Design solves this designers challenge by publishing the blog DesignSessions: Notes on Design. [ http://blog.sessions.edu ] The blog delivers the insights of top talent bloggers and editors from the world of design and new media. March authors include the likes of Fred Showker, Founder DT&G Magazine, Bryn Mooth, Editor of HOW Magazine and Terri Stone, Editor of CreativePro.com.

Guest bloggers represent topics in visual design and are selected based upon depth of expertise. The blog focuses on the application of graphic and web design in the commercial world but authors are granted liberal creative license and latitude. The blog also features a Design Career Watch category of posts that identifies design career trends and observations in the visual design industry at large.
