Jumpola: The Ultimate Links List for Designers, Marketers, and Artists

What is the Designer’s Jumpola?

I like to think of this big list of design-oriented links as a place of “instructional (and entertaining) introductions.” A carefully chosen list of people, places, things, and ideas, some of which, I hope to have the privilege of introducing you to for the first time.

They are carefully chosen and (I hope you will agree) organized in a way that makes them reasonably easy to use. And while I certainly don’t agree with everything they publish or promise, I think you will find most are worth seeing.

The idea for the page grew out of my own frustration in finding a useful “start page” for the design trade. I was looking for a page with more of the tools and information I use as a designer and writer, and less of the blinking perfume ads. The Designer’s Jumpola is an ongoing experiment in developing that page.
