Pretty sure HN is brutalism (along with CL, and possible even google). I don't imagine a designer was hired at all for the process.

- Bartweiss 9y agoIt's funny - I accept HN as brutalism, but not poor design. (Though I doubt a designer was hired.) The color scheme at HN is superb for a website. #FFFFFF on #000000 is painful to look at, everyone knows that. But most sites have solved the problem with grey-on-white, or even grey-on-grey. It's hard to anyone to read and terrible for those with impaired vision. HN chose solid black on a darkened, but distinctively shaded background. That alone has my lasting gratitude.
