I guess this whole list of ‘Most Influential’ is subjective. I can think of several people who have had a far greater impact on web design than any of these people. Nick Di Silva, Lincoln Johnson, Bradley Grosh, Eric Jordan, Josh Davis and on and on. Nick created Flash TV which allows budding animators, directors, musicians to showcase work .

Lincoln helped pioneer streaming media and created the most award winning website on the internet (Vodafone Journey) v1, and although creating film trailers for some of Hollywood’s biggest films (most recently Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol) he still puts together amazing sites and teaches others.

Bradley innovated video and video edited sites using a variety of vid/ed software and Flash. Josh used Chaos Theory mathematics in several Flash based campaigns for micro sites created for Motorola and BMW and has gone on to become a professor in NY and finally Eric Jordan pioneered Flash and was featured in Masters of Flash…Not to mention Yumi Sakaki from London and a host of other women who impress the industry every day.

Come on…open your windows a bit. There are quite a few who for what I imagine are purely personal reasons who have been omitted from your list.

Paul Irish should be number 1 on this list. Great article otherwise.

Apparently, I’m no longer influential. I wonder if that’s good or bad! This list is very mixed, but with the exception of Zeldman, you’ve left out some of old skoolers who are still kicking it – Eric Meyer being the most obvious example.

I agree that Mr. Collis Ta’eed is the top of the most influence people in Web Design. In fact, Collis undoubtedly has the keen eye for style and has extremely paved the means for a few of the most effective style on the online.
