Source #1- Creative blog: Art and Design Inspiration
https://www.creativebloq.com/essential-tips
I stumbled upon this blog while searching for some refreshers on my digital design skills and found it to be quite helpful. I found several blogs that had lists of helpful tips and videos. There are videos about 2020 trends in design. There is a page to share a little about the team behind this blog though it is very small and not fully inclusive. Each blog has the author and you can find a description of these authors though they are not very helpful in deciding conclusions about their authority in the matter. The two mentioned in the team are the Editor and Deputy Editor. The information is provided by several authors. The ones that I looked at provided relatively clear information for someone looking to refresh or learn new tools. I would use this recourse in the future, but I would be selective on which articles I read and what might help me slightly advance my skills or refresh them.
Source #2- Adobe Create
I found this recourse while doing this blog and am kicking myself for not knowing it was under my nose the entire time that I’ve been learning with Adobe products and studying design. Adobe is always changing and updating to keep up with new trends. Adobe is a well-known source for the design world and is very well trusted as many use their products to aid and foster their creativity. There are many tutorials and aids provided on this site and I will most definitely be looking into it and using it as a continued source for my design work.
Source #3- Sitepoint

Looking through some sites I came across this Sitepoint. The articles have the authors and the dates attached very visibly right below the titles, making it very clear to see how up-to-date the articles are. There is a large list of the team behind Sitepoint, though there isn’t a lot of information on their credentials. Among these team members there are quite a few editors keeping the site in check. These articles are very appealing and easy to understand. This is a simple source to find helpful tips for both designers, business owners and designers working with business owners.
