Superoboturbo

superroboturbo

Superoboturbo is Jordy van den Nieuwendijk. Almost more than the work itself, I want to call attention to the Dutch illustrator’s website. I have a tendency to moan about Flash websites for their shortcomings in accessibility, bookmarking, and searching, but Jordy’s horizontal-scrolling portfolio uses Flash rather smartly; his portfolio is a highly interactive experience that showcases not just his work, but his personality.

    I hate to bring some negativity to the conversation – and I *do* like his artwork and his sense of fun – but horizontally scrolling websites are vile to use.

    For reasons beyond my ken, the most talented artists are often the most prone to vile website design – and the horizontal scroller is one of the chief offenders.

    Please, all you wonderful talented illustrators and designers out there – just say no to horizontally scrolling galleries. And while you’re at it, you might want to say no to annoying bloody javascript based popup galleries where you can’t open a picture in another tab. Please.

    Ok – that’s enough grumping for one night. Carry on with the wonderfulness.
