The Web Browser Choice is according to the European Commission a deal between The European Commission and Microsoft. The European Commission believes that Microsoft has taken advantage of their predominant position on the European market by providing Internet Explorer as the standard browser on Windows.

Two weeks ago Simon gave us some examples on what can go wrong in a web design. In this post I just want to add to this and bring up some more, according to me, quite common mistakes that I think designers do. This is not about complaining and I hope that anybody reading this realize that. It’s simply just about improving our skills and I would love to read a similar post from a designers point of view.

Jakob has been working with advertising for over 16 years. He’s been interested in graphic design and illustration for as long as he can remember. In school he did posters and demo tape covers for his friends who played in a band. And through a nation wide competition in school (where you were supposed to make a magazine about milk), he stumbled into advertising. His entry won the competition. Continue reading…

Hey ya’ll photoshop-/color-/typo-addicted designers out there! Have you just finished that brand new awesome web design and just shipped it off to the web agency that will convert it into a website? Are you stoked on how awesome your design will look in a browser when you press the big green go-live button? (I’ve always wanted one of those buttons) Have you built up your customer’s expectations through the roof and said something like “Huell yeah! This will be the most awesome website of the entire Universe!!!”?

I recently finished reading Dan Cederholms Handcrafted CSS and just started reading The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and Dave Thomas. Both books make references to the craft of carpentry. This got me thinking of how similar these professions are.

It’s been totally too quiet here lately, right? So maybe you people might have started to wonder; Is this blog dead? Are the authors dead? Is there never ever going to be new posts on Swedish Fika? Yea, I thought the same. (Please don’t get angry with me now other “author-guys”…)

After visiting the blog randomly a couple of months and seeing no activity at all I contacted one of the authors and asked him permission to join in. He said yes. So here I am, the new author. I don’t have much experience of blogging but I’m a hard working web developer and I’m determined to do my best to keep this blog up and running. And if necessary, pushing the other guys  to do the same. 2009 here we come!

We will be back in a couple of weeks.
