Archive for the year 2004

Marshall McLuhan on go-go dancers (2004.11.08): ‘Sound, in the new world, of dance and song is not for listening. It’s for making’

Worst redesign of the year (2004.11.08): The new Chapters.ca: Could it possibly have been worse?

Don’t go back to Rockville (2004.11.06): How to deal with writing slowly. In my case, not altogether well

Unimaginable, potentially-best-ever unsolicited response to invert ‘dating’ advertisement (2004.11.06): FURBIJACK (body by Jake?)

Tasteful swash capitals (2004.11.03): Twice in two weeks, no less. You usually find tasteful swash capitals maybe twice a decade. I think the HOPESFALL logotype could stand some better optical spacing, but it’s an unexpectedly successful use of all-(swash-)caps.

Free chromostereopsis with every help session! (2004.11.02): Talk about orange. You shouldn’t put blue on orange or vice-versa because the wavelengths resolve at different points on the retina, making the colours look like they’re different distances away. Plus the colours can throb. Not a question of colour deficiency, merely of human vision in general. It’s even worse against a bright blue sky, so lucky you that we have just that kind of background here!
