The Best of Core77: Our Favorites from 2009
Posted in: Uncategorized2009 has been too good to us here at Core77. While continuing to bring you exciting blog posts, event galleries, book reviews, feature articles by some of the brightest minds in the field, we also introduced our new Core-toons series by fueledbycoffee and lunchbreath; brought you a bigger and better Coroflot Salary Survey; hosted our first live 1 Hour Design Challenge at the Better World by Design conference at RISD; broadcast live from the Via Tortona in Milan; added a custom Core77 bike to our store; and assembled Hack2Work, an essential list of tips for the design professional. In the meantime, Coroflot passed the 150,000 portfolio mark while we produced four editions of our new Creative Employment Confab in Austin, New York City, Portland, and San Francisco. Finally, in addition to existing partners The Art Directors Club, BusinessWeek, Computerlove, Design Observer, HOW, I.D. Magazine, and Print, we’re very proud to announce the addition of three new ones: The Die Line, Ad Forum and Creative Pro.
In light of all this, we’d like to take a moment and extend great thanks to our wonderful contributors, partners, board moderators, supporters, friends, family, and especially you, our valuable readers. We can’t do enough to thank you all, but for a start, we’ve assembled some of our favorite moments of 2009 for you to reflect on below.
Here’s to a bright 2010.
FTW,
Core77
