Smashing Magazine have an interesting new series of articles called “Global Web Design”, where Smashing takes a look at web design across boundaries:

Throughout this series we’ll be covering various continents, featuring web developers and web designs from different countries of the world and taking a close look of what’s happening in the web design scene worldwide.

And whatdayaknow, they included my site as an example from Mexico. Pretty Cool! Go peep the article.

Incidentally, Mexico has a thriving design culture. Since I’m out in the boonies (whereby “boonies” I mean anywhere in Mexico that isn’t DF, Guadalajara or Monterrey), I feel a bit disconnected from it, but I see beautiful, vibrant design all over the place. Mexico have a really warm, organic take on modernism and post-modernism that is wholly derived from popular culture and folkloric traditions. Modernism is not dead in Mexico. It is very much alive.

¡Arriba Mexico!
