my goodnes solid.
its like the boss just walked in, causing a bunch of people to stop laughing and get super serious. I use references like a monkey not to express a serious conversation, yet more to have fun on a friday night as we discuss stupid david carson.
its like i just got lectured by my parents. gees.
and by the way if hillman makes a video about you i would assume people are talking about the influence you have made in design...i am simply saying this is not needed with him.
break the norm...he neglected to read the instructions and stumbled upon fame and fortune. big deal. he is a has been.
And please stop calling the man a designer. surfing and pop culture magazines..ha, he had no client...he was the only say of the project...he communicated his own thought...fine artist using a computer...hence the monkey.
the same metrics...being knowledgable?
dood, maybe i am a bit of a dick but i was one of those yuppy private university art center kids...i graduated writing a fifty page thesis on this very subject...I see him as being a lucky freshman who needs help designing cause you know he doesnt know anything...i think quark and thats it...why does his shit look like that, cause thats the only thing he can do...bad quark layout.
self indulgent is just another word for postmodernist....damn hippies. everyone is trying to feel design...ooohhhhhh...what did cassande say, something like "the designer is the operator, the task is to remove oneself from the equation and take the clients message and provide it to the audience...Nothing More. In the hillman video Carson says that people argued, saying he wasnt showing respect to the articles...No one could read them...if he would of showed up to the first day of class he would of learned something about legability...good work designer, make a magazine that people want to read but cant...then argue that you didnt care it was your magazine and thats the way you wanted it...thats some good old fashion american postmodernism...a shitty feel good artist posing as a designer becoming famous because moderist laugh at him and postmodernist defend him.
