    • I'll speak to my comment: It looks like some took all of the info., crumbled it into a ball and threw it on the page.blaw
    • Then went back in a added a couple more typefaces to try to spruce it up a bit.blaw
    • my objection is that the form is mostly the product of trend imperatives and will look like a woodgrain deerhead in 2 years
      ********
    • Why blog vs. the design crit thread? I really enjoy reading those discussions and in here it'll just get lost.blaw
    • it's the WT, it mostly looks like this, it has for some years and will for some more —no big deal.

    • ps: there is a difference between sourced images and the same old deer's head.
      ********
    • (there is a design crit thread?)
      ********
    • I don't even know what WT is, so it's lost on me
      ********
    • "Then went back in a added a couple more typefaces to try to spruce it up a bit." — there are only 2 applied typefaces.

    • by deerhead, I meant trend esthetic, not sourced image. I have no prob with that

    • pps: i'm not defending, just noting.

    • to me this is a different version of nopattern in that more than 50% of the design decisions were based on trying to look in the mode
      ********
    • "trend esthetic"—define!
      ********
    • the mode
      ********
    • trying to look in the current vernacular as primary driving force of the design

    • gotta go, later.

    • a more intellectually acceptable version of what you deplore in the more plebian efforts of nopattern
      ********
    • bye

    • " there are only 2 applied typefaces." Looks like five from here. Maybe my definitions aren't as loose.blaw
