lol @ Witt trying to rationalize the importance of some boring type layouts and candle tshirts.
OMG you're right I never saw the HUGE cultural significance before! My bad, bro! you're totally right, Harsh Patel IS respectable and relvant!
not.

I agree about the candle t-shirt and some of the work like that, b/c it could use an explanation. But this is like everything else without an explanation. It's could be that YOU, as the viewer, are supposed to interpret it your own way. But obviously people like his work and admire him. Anyway, it's your opinion.

LOL where do you get this stuff? Mate, you got some serious self-image issues about your profession. This sounds like personal problem. Don't project your insecurities, please.
Like honestly, I couldn't imagine being such a little pussy that I push those sort of insecurities into a thread writing off someone else's work...like you are so afraid of people knowing you're a hack, you'll defend another (Harsh).
Relax. So you'll never be good at design, big deal.

"good at design"
it's so fucking relative. there's so many directions and viewpoints.
one man's good work is the boringness of the other.
seriously,
why don't we start a thread about Damien Hirst now. Been wanting to do that.Love to see things stirred up more here.
Anyway, I sort of like the PVN again. Since years we are talking about design again. Fronting or not, it's better than talking about one's ex, pet or whatever trivial nonsense that's been littering the pvn for ages.

ahahahah. let me say you're a gentleman after all.
what are you expecting from design then? a new paradigm in belief? A leap forward into a new kind of consciousness? A new way of rolling over?
what's wrong with common type work and candle t-shirts?
better yet, what's wrong with trying to push new experiments in graphics without giving a fuck about the public? Just about the screen, paper, etc itself?
Why is that boring? Harsh Patel did many good stuff before and still works around it. Editorial work is based on typography, space, page, etc --- Why is that so BORING? Do you need to click some bubbles all the time?

And I don't get howcome you're getting so psychological all of the sudden.
I'm not projecting anything. I just think that's not boring work and the reasons you invoked are wrong - not to mention that litmus test crap.
- DrHuxtable0
What do you think a non-designer would say about this work? BOOOORING.

Why would the Caslon Colonial be rejected by ITC?

caslon colonial is gorgeous! i wish it were available.

unless you're saying that in the netherlands and switzerland (even here they were, in a small off-charted country for design at the time) those kind of experiments were made 20-30 years ago. cool. ok - I would agree on that. It's not new. But that doesn't make it bad or boring work. In fact, that makes it very interesting work, since it's good and the graphical form is more pushy.
And I'm not trying to rationalize shit: I just like it.

you would prefer... what?
vector swirlies or something?

There's minimalism and then there's pointlessness. His style is fitting for the menu of an expensive french restaurant. It's not that I don't get it, it's that I don't like it.

you are stupid and have no taste

jesus christ... people don't even care about harsh words anymore.
I was trying to destroy a man's soul - going for the inner crevices and pits of his intellect - but all I get is a sticky finger near my arse.
Next time, I'll just use the word CUNT and pay the forty-thousand dollars.
- BonSeff0
i dont understand the hype.
the work does not make my socks go up and down. either i am missing something or just dont care. either way, fuck you, kiss my ass and suck my balls.
- Witt0
lol.
What hype?
How's it on Mars?

"you would prefer... what?
