That Design Thing Nov 24, 03, 9:43 p.m.

It's a design theory thread!

"1. Less is more 2. Gimmicks are for kids "

Well, this is an excerpt from lycerk in an older thread. And basically I agree with that first statement a lot, but the second one bothers me. And here's why.

Lately I've been pondering 3 classifications. The artist, the designer, and the marketer. The lines between these 3 are very blurred, and defining yourself as simply designer while forgetting the 2 other categories many times draws criticism.

Point: WhosWe brought up the gimmick comment. Now, would you say that they base many of their sites on gimmicks? I would, to some degree. But the more important question is: "Is that bad?" I'd say no, WhosWe makes a profit, company that hired them makes a profit. But at what point is it no longer design and more marketing?

Yes this is a rambling. I'm hoping some nice ideas and thoughts can be brought forth on some very obvious divisions I have witnessed growing up as (what I call myself) a designer. The shitty designers, the trendy kids, the uber trendy kids, the uber flash sites, the "iconoclastic minimalistic" and the bland professional to name a few.

opinions are appreciated ;)

The truth Nov 22, 03, 7:49 p.m.

Well. I made an image:

And it looks all fine and dandy on my little lappy screen. But when I take it to my Brand New CRT, it's gray. Real Gray. Example:

Now I tested this same image across 3 CRT's of different makes models and ages and they show the right said of compare.jpg.

BUT I NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK! I need the truth! The Matrix has me!

Why do I care? I care more about what the site in general ( http://www.adbusters.org/ ) has to say in a wider area of cultural and political facets than some ultra-liberal attack against McDonalds.
