i wonder what 2004 has in store for us

well, I'll be the brave one and mention some sites.
For me, these 5 have maintained an original style since they were constructed, and have held onto a fresh look through the 00's without being overtly-derivitive. They have important, inventive ideas that require readable, relevant packaging.

yeah, that also occurred to me. i'm much more confident in my own skills than i was then.

perhaps your feelings of the now have something to do with your age and what's going on in your life.
btw: stenciling comes and goes. It's not really new. Madison Ave picks things up when they're widely accepted as fashionable in the target demographic's now.

Lack of talent is the new black

i'm not referring to any particular site, just an overall feeling i'm getting from the now.
stuff like fashion, music, etc in addition to graphic design.
for starters this trend in design for stencils. though it pisses me off because i've been stenciling way before corporate america discovered it was cool and i hate to see it turned into a corporate tool.
i just felt like the last part of the nineties was awkward.
could just be me, though...

the new cool can be summed up with one word:
emoticons.

we're still waiting for links of non-derivative design...

I am the new black because I'm white.

Doesn't it mostly have to do with how well informed we are visually? I mean, you could lock yourself in a mountaintop cabin for ten years, cut off all contact with the outside world and create stuff. Come back down, put it on the internet, and within ten minutes two dozen webheads will tell you exactly who you ripped off.
I am a firm believer in the collective subconscious.
BTW: Pink is the new black. Just like in 1985.

I thought grey was the new black?
Young grasshopper, everything created is informed by something that came before.

"black is the new grey "
I thought gray was the new white?
Does that mean that black is the new white?
