Is there some sort of collected list of all these unsolicited redesigns?
I remember a zappos one...

he didn't redesign the new york times, he redesigned some imaginary newspaper that lives in la-la land, free of the constraints of reality.

^ Right. It's easy designing from a soapbox. In real life you have org issues where different business units have their own interests. Good luck resolving that.

^ I couldn't agree more.

I am wondering, why Khoi remains silent about this...maybe, he doesn't give a shit any longer.
- He wrote about it.raf

Lol - smart way of making himself famous in the intraweb.
A shitty designer though. Looks like the average Wordpress theme.

Why is this getting so much attention? Any average qbn'er could mock that up in 20mins. Plus the guy reads like he's an absolute tosser.

His reduces remind me of IA layouts, like...

The best bit is that his design was called out by people who work on newspaper UX / UI as being exactly what you've all said. Simplistic, ideallistic, unworkable within any sort of constraint and therefore a relatively pointless exercise.
The child like response to being called out is better than the initial design.

Design Provocateur at best.

Wow. What a fucking knob end.

It's a discussion going on here where I work. Eliminating ads altogether to create a more immersive and usable experience where ads can be targeted and useful, not a distraction and a means to your end (literally). I hope it gets traction. The initial concepts were pie in the sky stuff but good to see from a large player in national news.

Love this reply from a NYT developer. Gives 'im the serious beatdown.

Its great redesign, but I highly doubt anything like this can actually be implemented. Unless all the old corporate stone aged big wigs give up their positions and the use of ad space is no longer needed, these concepts will remain a dream ;)

"It is likely that these baseless criticisms have cost my studio hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in potential projects"
"Ad Age, Nieman Lab, and Media Bistro’s 10000 Words, made a point to publicly disparage me and inflict deliberate harm to my reputation despite the fact that the premise for the basis of their criticism was false and their own invention."

essentially he can give it but he can't take it

Never been a fan of this guy. Sure, he writes pretty good books. Design-wise, I can't really say I'm a fan.

"He's designed a nice blog template, not something that produces several hundred of stories a day over dozens and dozens of subsection. He's hasn't considered the scale, and the unreliability of content."
