I Answer Questions

Back in March I received an e-mail from Smashing Magazine asking for my participation in an upcoming article where they ask five questions to a whole bunch of web designers.

At first I was reluctant, thought it was maybe spam or even a mistake—I don’t consider myself an industry leading designer. After a few e-mail volleys with Smashing Magazine’s own Editor-In-Chief Vitaly Friedman, and assurance that it was not a mistake, I was willing to give it a go.

I answered the five questions and sent the e-mail and had not heard anything back.

Today, David pointed out to me, via IM, that the article was up.

So without further hyping of something that I was only a very small part of, please enjoy the article; 35 Designers x 5 Questions over at Smashing Magazine.

And my sincere thanks goes out to the team at Smashing Magazine for seeing something in my work that I myself have yet to realize, it’s appreciated.

Smashing Magazine has sure been getting popular over these past few months. I saw your name in it, but figured you already knew it was up.

Nah, they didn’t notify me, I wasn’t too concerned I figured someone would let me know eventually.
