    Vertical text really pisses me off. It's such a bad design element, especially in the context of some of those images above in which it's meant to deliver information, and not just serve as some random visual element. It works in newspaper or magazine design because you can physically hold it and move it to read everything.

    It goes without saying that I've wanted to punch every website that's ever had vertical text - especially for navigation - right in the face.

    • It's not 'information', though.
      In the examples above 'style' trumps information.

    • as long as the type is easily digestible i.e. one or two words then we cool. and agreed - it works more in printed mediumsinjun
