35 Designers x5 Questions

April 19th, 2007 by joby

Smashing Magazine has one of the most useful articles on Design and Presentation. It is full of practical advise from top designers:

We’ve asked five questions. One single text line would have sufficed.

  • 1 aspect of design you give the highest priority to.
  • 1 most useful CSS-technique you use very often.
  • 1 font you use in your projects very often.
  • 1 design-related book you highly recommend to read.
  • 1 design magazine you read on a daily/weekly basis (online or offline).

In the end we’ve received more answers than we expected. The results - over 80 CSS-based tips, design ideas, suggestions, fonts, design-related books and online-magazines - are listed below. It’s interesting to know, how designers work their magic. It’s interesting to know what you can actually learn from them.

Personally I find the first two more interesting, but I’ll take a look at some of the design resources suggested.  Read the whole article!
