Superest Series
May 05, 2008
Kevin Cornell and Matthew Sutter rock! Every now and then, when I'm looking for a little humor, I look back to The Superest to see what "super hero" these guys come up with to vanquish and one up the previous champ.If you're not familiar with Kevin or Matthew, they're 2 illustrators who have made a name for themselves, especially among web designers and artists on the web. Not only are they talented illustrators, but they're brilliant web designers who have a passion for web standards and accessibility. Every week, I look forward to seeing Kevin's beautifully drawn characters and his elaborate hand-lettering.
The visual and litteral puns, however, are the most clever. Both artists excel at making hilarious heros with well thought out skills to top their foes. And, the occasional guest illustrator rises to the task as well. Check it out!

Brian Dettmer: Book Autopsies
Apr 07, 2008
Jason H. sent me a link this morning to some of Brian Dettmer's book autopsies. I've never heard of him before nor did I know what a book autopsy was. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check them out.
I had to post this link because this is absolutely amazing! They're brilliantly original, beautifully crafted, and definitely impressive. I just wonder, how long it took him to do each one? And how much time did he spend trying to figure out where certain words or images where to get his desired effect?

Not Sure Where the Problem Lies
Apr 02, 2008
I'm not exactly sure who's to blame, because I'm not sure where the problem lies. What is the problem, you ask? Well, ugly, non-standard HTML. I know this is nothing new to the web, but this is the very issue — it's still around! The internet has become saturated with do-it-yourselfers, "mom and pop" web companies, and others that use the freedom of the internet to put their garbage online. It's been going on for years.
I'm not saying my design skills, my code, or my news posts are perfect. But at least I'm making an effort to do so somewhere along the standards of the web. And I'm not saying people shouldn't have freedom of speech [or posting]. That's a separate issue all together. What I am saying is that the web has markup standards that should be followed. And that certain people shouldn't be allowed to make websites or call themselves "web designers." I'll go into why I think this is a second. But, since the web medium is so vast, it's hard to pinpoint the culprits and it's even harder to educate them. Some could careless, and some just don't know these standards exist.
