According to public records, Adam J. Kurtz isn’t married. The graphic designer was born in Toronto in October, 1988. He is best known for his creation of the award-winning interactive book 1 Hour Traffic, a daily web-based creative companion that launched on Facebook. In addition, he has worked with companies such as AOL and Buzz Marketing, as well as assisting designers on their work. He has also collaborated with brands such as Tumblr and Urban Outfitters.
However, what sets Adam J. Kurtz’s career apart from others is the fact that he makes something that everybody can enjoy: an e-book specifically for readers who are already computer geeks. The e-book, 1 Hour Traffic, is available for download on Kindle, Apple iBooks, Nook, and other digital reading devices. Inasmuch as it’s meant to be an all-around help tool, it does not focus much on beginners who are looking to create a website. Instead, it is for people who want to learn about graphic design, but who are afraid of diving headfirst into the technical aspects of programming because they are not computer experts.
Despite the fact that it’s not the kind of book that’s meant for novices, Adam J. Kurtz has managed to make something that millions of people will find useful. With its attention grabbing title, i5 Sahara, and its illustrative and witty content, i5 Sahara might just end up being one of the best e-books of the year. Inasmuch as it may sound familiar, it isn’t a book that everyone should have read, but if you have a Kindle or an ereader, you might just want to consider picking up this one.
