When asked why going with a light on light colored web page rendering readability to almost nil, the Designer spoke at length eloquently stating obscure mission statements, having the site born at the intersection of arts, activism and the global community at large. Finally they lastly mentioned "because its the right thing to do". /s
- codeduck 6y agoIs this a cry for help? :)
- vbezhenar 6y agoDesigners just want their work to be unique and eye-catching. They don’t care about readability. They care about user remembering that page. If most pages have good contrast, designers will want to use light contrast to stand different. If light contrast would become the norm, they will reinvent hard contrast. It all goes in cycle.
- dylan604 6y agoI remember that page as something I can't read and will tell everyone I know about how horrible it is. Is that really what "designers" want?
