Jason Santa Maria
Jason Santa Maria is known for bringing strong typography, editorial design and visual rhythm to the web. His work with A List Apart, A Book Apart and his own design practice helped show that websites could have the nuance and personality of strong print design while still respecting the flexibility of the web. He stands out because he treats layout and type as central design tools, not finishing touches. His influence is especially strong among designers who care about reading experiences, publishing and content led websites.
