In the next week or two I will be compiling a list of graphic designers, web designers, and digital artist that use twitter. I know that we’ve all seen list like this before, but I’m hoping to mix it up a little, in addition to listing people that I already know as designers and artist from the web, I”m letting you guys recommend who should be on the list, and nominate others or yourselves too. I will actually with a few friends be looking at the twitter pages of everyone suggested for the list.

Now if you want to recommend yourself or another person to be on the list all you need to do is drop a comment with a link to that persons twitter account and why you think they should be on the list, that’s it!

Example:
@robertoblake woud be great for the list because of his articles and the fact he features other artist on his blog!

Some of the qualities I will be looking at when deciding who is on the list are:

The quality of information the tweet, like links, resources
How often they the tweet, too much, too little
If they Retweet others or not
Following to follower ratio

And to give everyone submitted to the this list some extra exposure I will be doing the following:

Posting the list on Deviant Art
Posting the list on Behance
Posting the list as a community link on various design blogs
Posting the list on my twitter account
Posting the list on myspace and facebook.

If you want to help get these artist exposure, or even encourage people to get listed you can post this article and the actual list where ever you think it would help, you can also add these people to your own list on twitter!

I’m actually hoping to get at least 50 people or more on this list, thanks in advance to everyone participating in this!
If you don’t feel comfortable with leaving a comment then just send me a direct message on twitter or send me an email to:
rblake@robertoblake.com

I’m looking forward to seeing who participates, good luck to you all!

Share and Enjoy:

I think that I should be on this list. My company Rambert Graphic Development has fresh ideas because I am new to this graphic design field. I graduated in 2007, I have done work for Popeyes Chicken & Biscuit and Dairy which you can see on my website. I work from home and It would help me out a lot if I can get any exposure I can to let small business owners know that I have a passion for coming up with solutions for them to bring them success.

Hi Robert,

I would like to be on your list to develop a little bit of a following before my site launches, and so I can participate in more design communities. There are some of us designers who live in isolation you know!

I have been doing graphics for about ten years on and off, and recently have decided to hop aboard the internet exposure train that is twitter.

Currently making my new site to correspond with my business launch, on top of work for clients.

I also want to nominate James White http://twitter.com/SignalnoiseArt because he has some amazing work, and his blog always has some nice resources and discussions. Although, he’s probably on there anyways.

I would like to add my name to the list of designers who use twitter. I am a webdesigner a mid sized SEO firm. My twitter account is @arthurbrownjr and I do have a portfolio website which I use to test out different things such as a different CMS or even different graphics.
I would also like to nominate the following people for as well.
@bkmacdaddy his tweets are informative and he is always very appreciative when you retweet his tweets.
@Minervity his tweets are as with @bkmacdaddy always informative and he always mixes them up with a balance of geeky general interest as well as web design.
So I hope at least one of us ends up on the list, I have no doubt @Minervity and @bkmacdaddy will be there as those guys are true gurus. I look forward to seeing the list.

I would like to be considered too. I’m a freelance graphic designer, I work alone a the moment and use twitter in an effort to stave off the isolation that freelancing can sometimes create. I use it to promote my portfolio website and graphic design blog. You can find me @kreynoldsdesign

Other designers I think are worth a mention include:
@Ana_P_Rodrigues
@imjustcreative
@behoff

Look forward to seeing the list.
