Creative Bloq is the world's leading art and design site, and delivers a daily mix of news, advice and inspiration for creative people: including digital and traditional artists, web designers, graphic designers, 3D and VFX artists, illustrators, crafters and  more.

We aim to keep you up-to-date with the latest global design trends and cutting-edge tech, remind you of the fundamentals that make creative work great, advise you on the best tools for your needs, and ultimately, help you create your best work.

Creative Bloq was founded in 2012, and we're proud to be celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2022. Over the years, we've been the home of legacy magazines Computer Arts, net, Web Designer and 3D Artist; today, we're the online space of leading 2D and 3D art magazines, ImagineFX and 3D World, respectively.

We're also the home of Vertex, the ultimate event for 2D and 3D artists, as well as the Brand Impact Awards (opens in new tab), which celebrates the world's best branding.

Affiliate & Advertising disclosure

We always aim to provide unbiased editorial created by our journalists and writers. We also need to pay our teams and website costs so we make money in a number of ways. We sometimes use affiliate links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation if you click on those links or make purchases through them. From time to time we also publish advertorials (paid-for editorial content) and sponsored content on the site. When this is the case the content is clearly marked as sponsored or promoted, so you’ll always know which content is editorial and which is not. Future PLC is our parent company and has an in-depth terms and conditions page with a lot more information that you can read right here

How we test and review

When we test products for our deep-dive reviews, buying guides and group tests we stick closely to a set of rules to ensure consistency and accuracy across the board. You can find these in our how we test and review guide.

We pride ourselves on honesty, independence and knowledge of a subject. Our reviewing team has decades of experience in the products they cover. They specialise and work in the sectors they review products for, so you can rest assured we test in real world scenarios.

For certain specialist reviews, such as laptops, desktop computers and workstations we run a range of industry-standard benchmarks and tests to determine a device's power, reliability, speed, economy and more. Each device is reviewed under the same test conditions and against the same standards and setup, so we get accurate and consistent results.
