(Jun 17 05, 03:20)in my defence the comment is from Jack Nicholson's classic award winning movie Chinatown. it has been a cultural referrence for about 15 yrs which means to take someone out of their comfort and to a rough place. not everything is a racial slur just because you think it is. grow up.

People put way too much value on this grid system crap. C'mon, get over it, its not that big of a fuckin deal.
And who ever said that critics have to be amazing at what their criticizing. As long as one can recognize what is good and bad, there is no eason why they should give their opinion.

the type in the body of kona's site is hard to read. i am no master typographer so my opinion probably doesnt mean much but i would suggest bumping the size up a bit.

"People put way too much value on this grid system crap. C'mon, get over it, its not that big of a fuckin deal."
That's exactly the kind of thing people who have no idea about how to use a grid say.
Shit grid = shit design
You think newspapers and magazines don't rely entirely on a tight and professional grid?!
Where'd you learn design man - the back of a captain crunch box?

magazine/paper layout is not a true grid design. they are resticted by space, and avery inch is for sale.
true grid design mixes in a love for white space, something a mag or paper design would never afford

if you want to get into specifics I'm down for a tango chief - all i was doing was challenging that particular remark without trying to get too technical
