obviously for design, steven heller is sort of one of those leading authors to keep track of.
but i'm wondering, what are your favorite theory reads for either design or art? i am talking in both the capacity of published literature or ongoing blogs.
for books, the looking closer series was good, and things like susan sontag and even aspects of some philosophy (hume is a personal favorite). for blogs, stuff like design observer.
i dunno. what do you all read to keep your theoretical interests / mindset active?

i think ayn rand has influenced my work more than any art & design person (the fountainhead, virtues of selfishness, atlas shrugged, &c). some milton glaser thrown in to say art is work.

Be interested to see how this holds up / whether there were any prophecies contained!

- whilst the Tibor book is more a presentation of his work it contains some of the best design essays, talks out there..Bluejam
