[edit] Content
Smashing Magazine evaluates software, applications, and web-based tools that are targeted at web designers and developers,[7][8] and publishes tutorials and how-tos on design and development.[9][10] Smashing Magazine also offers free fonts,[11] icons, and templates for download,[10] as well as showcasing other things of importance to the web development community, such as HTTP 404 error page designs.[12]
[edit] Regular Features
Each Friday, the magazine publishes an exclusive cartoon by Ricardo Gimenes, on the topic of a recent industry event, or more recently in the Fleaty the Bug series, common challenges to designers and developers[13]. The cartoons by Gimenes followed an earlier experiment into a cartoon strip with Paddy Donnelly which received a mixed response from readers in 2009[14]. However, the cartoons by Ricardo Gmenes have become an increasingly regular addition to the magazine.
[edit] Smashing Newsletter
Highlights of the magazine are collated every fortnight to form an email newsletter, sent out on a Tuesday[15]. As of May 2011, the newsletter is subscribed to by over 57,000 readers. The first edition, published on March 2nd 2010 was distributed to 17,321[16].
