It all started out with a harmless tutorial made by another designer. Which then prompted me to tweet this. I know I tend to rant about things on twitter from time to time, but I think I hit a nerve here. Some of the tutorials I have seen lately have been reducing design to a step by step ‘process’ that removes creative thought and problem solving.

I spent a semester abroad in Rome, Italy when I was in school. While I was there (studying very…very hard) I took a trip to Zurich where I visited a poster museum. Much to my surprise the exhibit was displaying Italian poster design from Milano. Check the pics I took and keep in mind that these were all designed before Illustrator of InDesign were invented!!!!
The New York Times is quite possibly the worlds most famous newspaper. The NYT website has an Alexa ranking of 101, an average visit time of 4.6 minutes and has over 100,000 websites linking back to its content. They must be doing something right! I read the NYT (website) on a regular basis, but until now I never stopped to think about what exactly pulls me in about the design of this site.
While watching the news the other nice I heard a little blurb about a new logo’s to brand projects that are financed by Obama’s stimulus package. At first, I’m not quite sure what to think of the logos…but after viewing them for a while I found some things I like and some things that need to be critiqued.
