homepage | style two


I tried to couple the black and white image of above the water with the vibrant below water image to reference that "underwater/scuba diving is the place to be."

reading | question

Although unorthodox, do you think that Michael Worthington's way of ordering his CD's (by the color of the jewel box spine and its place in the spectrum) should be considered good design system?

(personal opinion, I think that it depends upon the amount of people using the system, so in this case, it's his personal CD collection, so he understands how it works, but it might not work on the scale of a larger audience.)

Recipe for a Successful Website

-Most often, Less is more ("Tastes great, less filling")
-Sometimes, more is often more (high-quality and appropriate information)
-Focus on what you've have, don't try to fancify lame material
-Don't be objective, be sure your site has a voice


The Order of Order

-Unlikely pairs can be drawn together. (CD's arranged by color of the spine vs. title of artist)
-The choice of order often speaks about the person arranging them
-the phrase "jostle stuff into submissionjostle stuff into submission" makes me laugh


*the other two readings wouldn't load, will try again later.

| delicious design league |





Here is the website and an example of another "firm" I worked with this summer, everything they do is out of their basement in Humbolt Park, Chicago, IL but the stuff they turn out is bad ass, and they're cool guys too.

TO SUGGEST...

56 years since an election has been incumbent free? That's a pretty long time...

to suggest...

a limited choice
freedom from the past
the past not effecting the present

more to come...
