I’m talking about Dustin Curtis, an UI (User interface) & UX (User experience) designer. He’s the guy who voluntarily came up with a stunning redesign for AA.com (the American Airlines website) for which he was replied to by a lead designer at AA.com (which once again brought into light, the corporate paraphernalias).

But what made me write about him is not only that, but the way he presents himself. He lives at DustinCurtis.com which is a simple HTML page with some personal info and links to his best articles. Yes, articles – that’s what I am talking about. No, not just about the content but the way he does it.

Every single article has got an unique design, which is so much in rythm with the content. You expect a designer of his kind to have a portfolio page. But Dustin Curtis haven’t got one. It’s better to say, he doesn’t need one. Every single article of him stands testimony for his awesome sense and skill. He creates his portfolio with the stuff he writes and designs for himself, rather than throwing up a list of stuff he made for ‘clients’.

Totally check out DustinCurtis.com, there are some really great pieces of art there.
Isn’t this a great way of doing things ? Yes, it is. Don’t you think.
