Booth is a beautiful annual poetry magazine (and weekly blog) published by Butler University in Indianapolis. To my surprise and delight, this years edition, which came out in May, featured Daniels Daily Monsters!
First, check out the gorgeous cover, which was part-inspiration for the little illustrations I’m doing on the site:

The first page of the article featured the Monster that Leigh drew:

And the accompanying spread shows not only my monsters, but also 2 that Samantha drew as well. The whole family got published!

This month’s .net magazine (#196 December) features my article ‘Design the perfect icon’. focussing on icon design for websites, rather than for software. It expands on the talk I gave at @media earlier this year Icons for Interaction

This is my first really big magazine article that I’ve written, and found 5500 words much harder than I thought, and probably won’t be writing another one in a hurry! However, I’m really pleased with result, and it’s given me an idea of how much harder it would be to write a book.



I got a wee mention in Decembers’ UK Edition of WIRED magazine, in a section called ‘Icons of the Screen Icon’. Nice!
