    It seems there aren’t many women into ‘computer stuff’. I am not saying the list is sexist (most women certainly do not like ‘computer stuff’) but I would say it is certainly biased and a little short-sighted.

    99Designs alone is not a web designer. However there are web designers who sell their logos and ideas extremely cheap and most of the time for nothing to get their name out there. It’s frustrating, sad and it’s how I really made up the majority of my initial portfolio. 99Designs exploits up and coming designers work and make a huge profit from it.

    Smashingmag (the entity) is a magazine for graphic arts but not a graphic designer.

    And as much as I love David Airey, he is not a web designer. As far as I know, (don’t quote me on this – I may be wrong) he does not code. He is an amazing graphic designer but he only makes logos from what I’ve seen and read.

    There are other artists on the list I certainly agree with but others not so much. I think the reasons of why they’re on the list should be posted.

      Yeah I agree about the lack of female talent…why isn’t Veerle Pieters on that list? She’s an amazing designer…although her tweets are a bit boring. She doesn’t follow back and mainly tweets about herself, which defeats the purpose of social media…I noticed many of the designers on the list are like that.

    How is Smashing Magazine a top web designer? It’s a magazine. Unless your talking about the collective group that writes for Smashing, then ok.
