Twitter seems to be gaining popularity almost every day. As a new user I decided it would be helpful to do some research to find designers who would be worth following. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive (so please add a link to your profile in the comments if you like), but it should give you a great start to following some talented designers. This is a list of over 50 designers, in no particular order, with a link to their Twitter profile.

“shameless self-promotion”? You’re absolutely right, cat.

http://www.twitter.com/scottperezfox - thanks for the add.
sweet list, and replys
https://twitter.com/picard102
In most cases, Twitter is improved by adding more people. That’s part of what makes it good. “Shameless self-promotion” isn’t really a bad thing in this case, when it means more options and more people to meet.
My twitter: http://twitter.com/mavegibson
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think, that one of the “Designers” to follow on Twitter from the original list have thought it suitable to use the Twitter logo - including the tree which the feathered creature is perched upon - as the principal component in the main banner on her personal portfolio website.
As far as I can work out this banner precedes the announcement on this page and feels remarkably like the Merriam-Webster’s definition of “plagiarism”: “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own”
Or have I missed something?
I’m flying the graphic design flag at Twitter…

Nicklas, I’m sure it’s just a stock image, which couldn’t be further from plagiarism.
Nicklas i have been using that image from istockphoto.com for the last two years way before twitter, its a stock image by John Oxton. I kind of fell in love with its simplicity and thought it would be a great image as a little intro for my website, i have grown to love it even more so i couldnt imagine changing it!
People often email me about it and i point them straight to John’s work on istock, i think twitter fell in love with it as much as i did!
Please dont accuse someone of plagiarism which is a serious accusation until you have actual facts.
Curious, I found an illustration by Simon Oxley on iStock. http://xrl.us/bmadu Maybe John Oxton (The Web Developer from the Cotswolds?) had made a similar one available two years ago?
Jesting aside, I’m glad to hear that it was just a case of using stock illustration and not plagiarism in this particular instance.
My bad i was listening to the rissington podcast at the time and must have had john’s name on my brain! Yep i meant to say simon oxley, i actually mention the image and credit it in my stylesheet as well.
Well Nicklas and Grace, I’m glad that situation had a happy ending. I honestly didn’t know if the image was plagiarized or not after Nicklas’ comment. I thought about deleting the comment but I very rarely do that and I hate to kill commentary if it’s not necessary.
No worries steven, its just a bit upsetting to be called a plagiarist and have to defend myself for using a stock image but im glad its sorted.

Is Ryan Carson really a designer? Nice chap…
Huge shock not to see Jina Bolton (twitter.com/sushimonster ) or Andy Clarke (/malarky) in there… they do both contribute to .Net magazine!
Also think the word designer is really easy to use for anyone and I’d quite like to see some separation to help clarify who is more of what skill. For example: I get that Eric Meyer is more of a CSS front end developer than designer… maybe he’d argue that. A designer, to me is someone like Elliot Jay Stocks or Larissa Meek.
Khai,
Good point. There are several here who are probably better classified as developers. I chose the word designer to also include the graphic designers on the list who aren’t truly web designers, but I agree with you.

Ah I’ve got it - if you post it all goes mental.

Hi Steven
Wanted to say how greatful I am for your Twitter post and actually including me in it. It has actually been of enourmous use to me to have so many more people following…
I was a little surprised at what was going on initially as I started to get so many follow requests.
The last couple of months have been very challenging for personal reason, hence why I seem to have dropped of the face of the earth for some weeks.
Things slowly getting back to normal, motivated, re-igniting things where the flame had died and generally winding the engine up.
So a huge thank you Steven again for including me in this list, a belated Thanks. You’ll be seeing me back on your other Blog also in time, back to my usual waffling comments etc.
Going to be ReTweeting this post etc as it’s so cool and have met so many great people, feels like it’s helped me more than the people who were mean to follow me.
Regards
Graham
