The Manual

2011

The Manual is a beautifully crafted journal that takes a fresh look, in print, at the maturing of the discipline and profession of web design In lively, rich articles and vibrant, personal stories we explore the tiny distance between loving people and seeing them as mere specks, the deadliness of CSS galleries, the impact of the corruption of the web’s original vision as interconnected nodes, the way in which our increasingly scattered identities call for a new etiquette, the foundation of design in finely tuned critical thinking, and the urgent need to cull and surrender, focus on craftsmanship, and build a new visual language for web design.
