Key journals databases

These are some of the principle databases you would normally use for the study and theory of Design. These databases index hundreds of thousands of journal articles on Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Interior Design, Metalwork & Jewellery, Packaging, Industrial Design and Product Design.

Newspapers and magazines

Newspapers and magazines can be the best source for the very latest information. However, they are aimed at a general audience, and do not tend to be very technical or detailed. They are also certainly not peer-reviewed and can very often be erroneous or biased.

Multidisciplinary journals databases

Because Design can cover a huge range of subjects, you may very well find these databases useful on some occasions.
