possibly the WORST example ever posted in NTB? .. or on NT!
no offence, but the site is just as bad as the work it showcases.
shocking, really.

Thats a bit rash...the man was in hipgnosis a company that changed the face of album cover design. The work he did for them was freakin excellent.

well, the sites bad and so is the work in my opinion. look forward, not back

i am all verry saddened to see of him being posted up on newsTODAY!! he probably sleeping in the same bed as tolkien and other awful chess playing wild in the heads, have you seen of when he had his graduation 1969!! he must be at least 80 now

Minge: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but his work is excellent. Just cause it was done a long time ago, doesnt make it shite.
Infact, I am going to did out my older sisters hipgnosis books and have a look through..dusty as they are. I reckon there is siomething in there,,just as I guess Brodys deconstructed type for the sex pistols cover is a current type theme at the moment...but hang on..thats the past, so in yor eyes it must be crap.

always fun to see people on a ratty warpath and facts go all over the place, to say about brody and sex pistols which is not true sentence, that is fun and shows lack of real good facting, hope you can read the dusty hipgnosis books of youre sister

I like the site more than most of the shit posted here... good navigation and good content.

MAN!!! he sounds boring....
logos: Logos are jolly hard to design because logos need to be crystallized, need to capture the essence, need to say so much in such a short and contracted space, speak volumes in a trice, be interesting, succinct, and fulsome all at once. A tall order, especially if you are a waffley type person like me. The christian cross is a pretty good logo, not to mention ying yang, the Sun sign, or a kiss. Or Shell? British Railways? Rolling Stones mouth? Is Coca Cola better or worse than the swastika?

Its an interesting site. I'd say the reason why some dont like it is cause its doesnt follow any wanky web trends.
That shine on box set was great
- minge0
wanky web trends, im not a web designer so i dont think thats why i dont like it. how about his lack of refinement in his work or just cos its plain old shit. did you even look at his logo work?
and i didnt say cos its/hes old it is shit. far from it. just lets not suck anyones cock just cos they made aname for themselves.. i dont like his work and i dont see any reason why anyone should get grief for having an opinion about design. isnt it subjective? am i not allowed.
please forgive me

Dont blow a fuse man. If you are so sensective you can't handle the cut and thrust of a debate then don't voice your opinions.
I am not here to give you a hug, you said your opinion, I said mine, there you have it.

bit hard to take the opinion of someone called 'minge' really anyway!

hmmm
