Where-oh-where?  

design central
perhaps, this is an easier question--where on the net can one find the latest designs for retail and residential projects, without having to buy and look at every outstanding design magazine out there?there must be a site...or something similar.do help!please

Do know
how many such projects are photographed and published every month, in the "western world" ? Enough to fill all those magazines you mention, and more. What pays for that publication is the advertising included in each of those issues. There is no incentive to republish the same material, minus the advertising, in another venue. Although the Web was intended to help put people together with information (and sites like *this one* are doing a good job of it) the commercial realities do not favor (yet) your wish. . .as far as I know.
Anybody ?

Did you try any of the amazing design blogs out there?
In the beginning of bloggers, traditional media and traditional journalists were too afraid to loose there space. (Don't be so afraid, every new always left space to the old). I find the GOOD blogs:
More up to date
More personal
More refreshing
More feedback
More
I woudn't make a very personal list, to don't 'stick' to anyone, but to find your own.
For more blogs look at there links.
