Football blogs; graphics & arts; image & design resources

Below is a list of talented football designers, illustrators & artists – as well as various blogs, football magazines & design resources – frequently visited to help keep the creative juices flowing, or generally just to browse and enjoy when I don’t want to work.

The list of artists is split into (1) Graphic designers (2) Illustrators and (3) Kit Designers. Naturally there is some cross-over with certain designers, but we have listed them here according to their speciality. Below that we have listed football design communities, football magazines, blogs, and some handy design resources. As always, it’s an ongoing list, so if you aren’t listed here and would like to be, please get in touch.
