Thoughts on Squarespace?
- Expensive but reliable, you have to pay extra for emails through G Suite. If like me you can't stand the technicality of building a website, squarespace makesspl33nidoru
- the experience more enjoyable and actually makes you want to use your site and tools more. Good analytics app too. I use it, only wish it was cheaper.spl33nidoru
- Building can be counter intuitive at first but good forums with custom css code for the extra adjustments not natively possible with the theme you picked.spl33nidoru
- I use it but no flexibility unless you know code.Hayoth
- You could checkout webflow as another option.zarkonite

Is there a single word that replicates the meaning of "any case". Why isn't 'any case' one single word: 'anycase'?
The dictionary allows for:
anybodies
anybody
anyhow
anymore
anyone
anyplace
anything
anythings
anytime
anyway
anyways
anywhere
anywheres
anywiseIt's dictionaryist to exclude 'anycase'.

- anywhoutopian
- the vernacular you are referring to is actually "in any case" which can be replaced w/ "nevertheless".imbecile
- yupmonospaced
- The dictionary excludes things that aren't attested and in common use.i_monk

I know we love to hate on Pentagram but this campaign is actually really nice: https://www.pentagram.com/work/c…

^ The identity itself is very bare bones.
The abstract shapes are totally meaningless and might as well be some shit you buy to decorate your very 1st studio apartment on Society6.com, right above the potted succulent plant you'll eventually let whither away and die.
It's a "colorful abstract" treatment that's very trendy right now but will be ditched in a year or so.
I see no real design thinking, nothing that lends itself to a campaign or brand activation or anything novel whatsoever.
- Totally, completely forgettable.fate
- lolNBQ00
- The ever-evolving patterns and colours of each block-shape animate in tandem with the fine technical lines that surround and manipulate their form.fate
- This results in illustrative visuals that provide a sense of tangibility to the real-time, continuous flow of data that fuels Cytora’s deep-tech processes.fate
- In other words: bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. We like pretty colors.fate
- IBM did it way better for the blockchain business https://athleticsnyc…monospaced
- I think you're being a bit harsh though. So much of design is pretty colors and bullshit. Why isn't "it looks great" good enough? Who cares if it changes?monospaced
- I don't even disagree with you on most of what you said, except that there was no design thinking. Perhaps just not "enough"monospaced
- Because "it looks great" doesn't give you much mileage. It's the bare minimum, like getting dressed in the morning.fate
- Though I am typing this naked right now, so take what I say with a grain of salt...fate
- Soz I'm with fate. It's AI and risk - no immediate visual property but conceptually really interesting. This is just post-rationalised on-trend prettiness.MrT

a client writes, wanting a graphic for his homepage:
"Things the graphic should include:
1) A cartoon of my lady and I
2) The word “PR” written in the ******* font with the logos of the major outlets that have featured us, such as The Times, Vanity Fair, GQ etc, around it
3) The word “clothing” with some sketches of sweatshirts, t-shirts, trousers etc around it, perhaps with “*******” or ******* written on the garments
4) The word “copywriting” with a suitable graphic sketch next to it
5) The word “graphic design” with a suitable graphic sketch next to it
6) The word “websites” with a suitable graphic sketch next to it
7) The phrase “A List collaborations” with the graphic of the ******* collection next to it but without the word ******* actually written above itThe graphic is obviously going to be quite busy."

166 sidenotes on the front cover cartoon of Serena Williams!!!???.. can someone plese give me the Cliff's Notes?
- It's racist. No it isn't. Yes it is.Morning_star
- Sponsored by Nike.robotron3k
- Cartoon of Serena. A few tweaks and it'd have been less offensive. Art Director should have asked illustrator to not exaggerate her lips. Then all ok.shapesalad
- You forgot to mention that it's a caricature and by definition the features should be exaggerated..and that is the crux of the debate.Morning_star
- Cannot satirise minorities because racismset
- OK, thanks! haha! let's not have 166 sidenotes explaining the other 166 sidenotes/ LOLKrassy
- It's racist because she's black. It's not racist because it's a caricature, and that's how caricatures are. If you don't think it's racist, you're "privileged."monospaced
- Caricatures of white people aren't racist, because they're white?monospaced
- i guess in 2020 trump will have more QBN followersoey
- and soon someone will start a discussion that blackface is not racism...i can't believe that most people here don't find it racist.oey
- well, QBN's "people of color" all so far said racist. most white people said not racist. if one can reads, this fact says it all. i rest my case.oey

- I feel like I'm having a discussion with Kellyanne...oey
- QBN is full of Kellyannes...LOL!oey
- You're not actually discussing anything, you're just saying it's racist, without defending your assertion. The only inaccuracy here is the earrings and pacifierShenanigansTV
- She has hair like this, makes faces like this, dressed like this, broke a racket. She actually cheated by being coached.ShenanigansTV
- https://encrypted-tb…ShenanigansTV
- I already wrote why I find it racist, what are you talking about? how do you know i have earrings?oey
- It's a trap to get you to admit to having a weakness for fashion.ShenanigansTV
- I've read through what you THINK is racist about it. But as already pointed out, Naomi isn't depicted as white. Serena actually made faces like the one in the dShenanigansTV
- Serena doesn't have huge lips, isn't jumping up and down like an animal. Your pics actually proved the opposite of what you intended IMO.yuekit
- rawing, it does resemble Serena specifically and not generically, it's not sexist because of a pacifier, that is a visual cue to say she was acting like a baby.ShenanigansTV
- Damn she is juicing, she got arms bigger than Federerrobotron3k
- You see another cartoon of Mcenroe being shown the same way with a pacifier. See other thread.ShenanigansTV
- Even the comment about "can you just let her win" What if she started winning, and not continuing to lose. Would she have continued?ShenanigansTV
- @yuekit ... The cartoonist had to sum up a series of behaviors in one still image. This is a 10 minute still image. The jumping is a classic cartoon expressionShenanigansTV
- Oey how do you know the people you are talking to arent people of color?cannonball1978
- here we go. here we go. here we go. againhotroddy
- ^ nice songoey
- @ cannon, magic...oey
- Nobody even mentioned, Serena knew she was losing and threw the game by attacking the umpire, so Naomi would not embarrass her.robotron3k
- Australian newspaper doesn't see how this cartoon of Serena Is racist..and neither does QBN. https://www.yahoo.co…utopian
- https://www.yahoo.co…utopian
- @ShenanigansTV IMO it's not so much the jumping itself but the way she is drawn (she looks apelike) and the huge lips which are a classic black stereotype andyuekit
- which she doesn't actually have in real life. But whatever, it's a cartoon, it's subjective. You're not going to be able to objectively prove it's not racist byyuekit
- referencing other images. In spite of what people here are saying, I do think there's a way to draw blacks that doesn't offend people like this one did.yuekit

- posting a guardian opinion piece like some kinda mic-drop? ya, nope.Gnash
- no mic drop intended sorry, was posting it as an example of an opinion that talks both about caricature and stereotyping. that's it.oey
- maybe i should have post some daily mirror or sun article to make it more credible...LOL!oey
- ^ those are just as bad. you LOL a lotGnash
- that said, the illy doesn't really look much like that much like serena (to me). The big-lip thing then seems a lazy choice as an illustrator.Gnash
- and by lazy i mean digging into racist stereotypes as a signifier instead of stretching yourself a bit more as a illustratorGnash
- if it looked more like her I would likely think differently.Gnash
- ^ me too.oey

Are we still arguing over a caricature? lol
She made the worst mistake an athlete could commit, letting her emotions get the best of her. She was losing the game, lost her shit and vented on the ref. Don't get sidetracked by a cartoon.
- all the cartoon did was illustrate that ... it wasn't a racist attack (imo)monospaced

- soundofreason0
To sum it up:
People who see the cartoon as racist think that those who don't see it as racist are racist.
People who don't see the cartoon as racist think that those who see it as racist are racist.

I got not one single good photo, not one iota of a good shot. I hate myself, I hate my gear, I am the shittiest photographer I know. I have the gear that a first year community college student would get. Garbage. I played with a shot forever, I think it would have come out good if she had looked towards me and smiled but since she didn’t it’s garbage. I quit photography. Forever. Fuck off photography!
