We gotta do some soul searching if this is hitting the HN frontpage.
- tptacek 14y agoWhy, because Kennedy's secret plan to stage false-flag military attacks on gulf coast cities is germane, but graphic design isn't?
- awakeasleep 14y agoMy thoughts: a) Assuming the link you mention was low quality, that doesn't justify low quality here. b) Interface design has a broad appeal, it involves reasoning about utility and aspects of the human experience we all have access to, but often overlook, like biases and perception. Graphic design involves subtler distinctions in a subset of the above. c) I enjoy visually understanding concepts and making comparisons. I like when designers take an opportunity to represent their personal taste. Standing up for your taste involves personality, your ability to put yourself in context, and some vulnerability. That is real to me. This article contained none of that depth-- only two words in the stub-- "corporate lipstick" referenced the new design. Whats your take on it?
