Non-notable design website, no sources provided and I can't see any evidence at all of independent, reliable news coverage about Design Observer online. Sionk (talk) 21:53, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added various refs to the article - some obtained via Highbeam but some from newspaper websites. Among these can be found opinions that Design Observer is "Certainly the best-written and generally the most intelligent of the many graphic design blogs ... the level of posts and debate continues to be significantly higher than you'll find anywhere else in the design blogosphere" (Creative Review) A Guardian search shows various articles, one describing Design Observer as influential. And their Design Matters podcast won the 2011 People’s Design Award at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum [1]. AllyD (talk) 20:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
