Those Brit designers have been off-base for years

Comment by tonypowell on June 12, 2007

All the hoopla and awards go to British design these days. But it's garbage. All vintage line drawings of birds, girls and butterflies with neon colors splashed willy-nilly. I'm 43, considered old, I suppose, but bad design is bad design. The Olympics logo could not be worse. In five years it will be just as bad.

Waste of time and bad examples

How many times must we be lectured about this? It's like being taught your ABC's in grad school. We get it. We got it long ago. And another thing: interfaceguru.com is a terrible website. Sloppy. Look at their tagline in the upper right-hand corner. Nobody's noticed the missing space between the comma after "architecture." And these people are gurus? Give me a break.

XML = Night of the Living Right-Brains

I've always thought XML was conceived by the same people who snap wide awake in the middle of the night sensing that something is askew in their underwear drawer. XML has always been about quantifying creativity. And you see the results. Add to this the fact that we creatives can be easily intimidated by these "forward thinkers."
