- shit. straight up awful clichéd overprinted rubbish, wouldn't wipe my arse with it in case I caught somethingkelpie
- is it one of yours?kelpie
- i have one, near my school********
- you came out of nowhere there Tom...neue75_bold
- I guess I feel like things of this order, while possibly technically accomplished, are purely the results of fashion********
- spooked me a little..neue75_bold
- and will go the way of the woodgrain dodo********
- agreed, but that's kinda reflective of the subject matter, innit?neue75_bold
- I mean, deer********
- I guess so...********
- I actually think its quite pretty and I quite like the overprinty craze. dead into condensed type too at the moment. how shallow am I?kelpie
- i mean, i have that poster, and the 'conference' in near my school********
- the only thing that bugs me is the suspicion that many of the practitioners of thi art delude themselves that they've transcended trends are doing purely functional design********
- transcended trends and are doing purely functional design********
- but I guess that's being quite finicky, seeing as I do far worse things********
- but what the hell, it is a "crit" thread********
- i only know mil and cookies********
- I like hearing reactions to details********
- I know what you mean; pure function as trend. we're intellectual so our trends aren't trendskelpie

- in a political nightmare..neue75_bold
- you mock me********
- I deserve it********
- nah, just don't see things in that level of depth, I don't ask those questions, hope one day I will...neue75_bold
- I believe in function, as long as the designer is aware that this, too, is usually prey to aesthetic trends********
- which are usually based on either nostalgia or nostalgic conception of present as future********
- what a load of bollocks!********
- the names aren't even in alphabetical order. no regard for theme? common'!_salisae_
- don't want a little thing like alphabetic order to mess up a nice rag, eh?********
- there appears to be some type of numerical order after the names. i still don't understand what the fuck this is though.johndiggity
- they are chronologicly ordered, the numbers are day/monthneverblink
