I hat those layouts. Just give me a static page, maybe chop the article into separate bits and hyperlink them. But this... it's like it was made by tv people who hate reading. I don't know.

- smacktoward 10y agoI dunno. I agree that readability is important, but I love the impact that creative design can have on the reader too. The pictures in this story, and creative design decisions like draping the whole thing in shades of black (echoing the blackness of coal and the polluted industrial sky) highlight the story's horror. There's room for both approaches; print magazines have long ranged from those with utilitarian layouts to those with lavish, creative layouts, after all. So there's no reason to assume the Web can't be the same.
- jerkstate 10y agoI think this is the worst design I've ever seen, with the background image zooming out as I scroll. Extremely distracting.
