on 30 Jun 10I liked the discussion about art vs. design. Sometimes I arrive at web designers website, via some high profile link on a popular site where they have a big following, and all signs are pointing to this being a recognised good designer. Then the body text is grey on similar-grey, with text-shadow to make things fuzzy as well as hard to read and I’m disappointed. Then I feel guilty for not getting it, then angry because, shit, it is bad design if I can’t read what you’re saying. Or I don’t know where to click.
Good design has no ego. It’s happy to be invisible (good comment about the spacing reducing the number of ‘elements’ on page btw) where as art is not. There’s definitely a place for art and beauty, but for ‘real’ design form should follow function.

on 30 Jun 10Obvious question perhaps, what rules and tools are you using to determine proportion? Is it mainly vertical and horizontal grids?

My bad, I thought you were complaining about the profanity. I see what you did there now.
