web-goddess: The Design Disease

Monday, February 19, 2007

The Design Disease. While I am by no means a graphic designer AT ALL, I do think I exhibit some of the symptoms of this malady. Bad kerning, fonts, and colours definitely bother me. I have been known to rant about really bad logos (like the new one for Freedom). I definitely pick wine based on the labels, and I'm drawn to books with eye-catching covers. I wouldn't say I actively collect good design (yet) though...

Of all the things that will drive me batshit, bad kerning is well and truly a top contender.

Never a truer word spoken! I dunno about kerning.. but I drove past the freedom at bankstown a few months ago & wondered why they'd changed to such a bad freakin logo!

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
