My Web Design Superheroes
January 1, 2007
One of my favorite talks at Refresh 06 was Andy Budd’s, How to be a Web Design Superhero. At the end of the talk, he listed his web design superheroes. I liked the idea. Here is my current list:
- Jared Spool — Usability and Experience Design
- Josh Porter — Social Web
- Andy Budd — CSS
- Kelly Goto — Web ReDesign Process, Persona
- Gerry McGovern — Killer Web Content
- Steve Krug — Usability
- Kathy Sierra — Creating Passionate Users (Experience Design)
- Andy Clarke — Transcending CSS (I have only read a chapter of Transcending CSS and it is great). Simon Collison referred to it as “era-defining.” From what I have read I think this is an important book.
