very true, but I don't see evaluating other designers work as a bad thing. Helps you grow, especially evaluating it with other designers.
One of my good friends was telling me how bad Sagmeistters site sucks the other day. But having read Sagmeisters book I understand the reasons behind his site.
Which is why its really nice having Tom here to explain a little bit abou his site. Now that he says its supposed to be like a catalog it makes a lot more sense.

tuig I think you should have gone with more pink on your site...its a little bland.
I figured while we were all critiquing and shit. :P

I don't think you should have to read a book to 'understand' a site. The book is for designers, and I guess the site isn't.

i think that in the case of smpl its unfair to say its lazy. just because you think the designer could have done better means nothing. it may have been a concious, creative decision to go that route.
feel free to disagree.but to be honest, if the thought of impressing people on this board messes with my process, id be a trend whore. so i respect those that dont. even if i think the design doesnt work.
whatever that means

No its that you have to kind of understand the designer to understand his site. Basically my take on his site is that he is mocking style, it's sagmeisters joke. My friend didn't get it. So what I'm saying is that by knowing a little background on the designer and his beliefs sometimes explain why they do certain things...kno-wud-i-mean?
