Behind the design

As always, here are some insights from the designer herself:

“Smashing Magazine is one of the best resources of inspiration for me, I have found it very useful in my daily work. There has been lots of great freebies released, so I also wanted to share something special with the Smashing Magazine readers.

I work a lot as an illustrator, and one day when I was playing around with RSS-feed icons, this idea came to my mind. I decided to make the whole set of these little animals. Hope you enjoy them!”

– Mirjami

Thank you very much, Mirjami! We appreciate your efforts.

We are constantly looking for creative designers and artists. You may not know it yet, but we may feature you in one of our upcoming posts.
