Thank you for saying this, because often when this sort of thing pops up on HN I click on the link and stare blankly at the page wondering "Just what the hell IS this?!" and I feel particularly stupid. I only keep one foot in the webdev sphere as it's not my primary focus any more, but still - I feel that I should be able to 'get it'. - ed : I should've read the comments first. Glad I'm not alone! My studio is in a building that also does musical events and there are always posters up for various gigs and I so often have a similar complaint - they're 'designed' (as in, imho, poorly) by someone who's had their head buried in the thing they're promoting and forget that people slightly outside their context need a bit more of a nudge. There's one new one out there today that doesn't have any links to help define context, and the name of the artist is so generic as to be tricky to filter on a web search.
