A Designer’s Perspective on Why America is F***ed (Graphically).

Filed under Design by Chad | 5 comments

A rambling yet somehow strangely coherent spiel on how America’s graphic heritage is being washed away by FastSigns and other commoditized design factories. Some good points here, and it looks as though there is a lot more to come. Warning… the language is a tad NSFW.

   dude, I have totally had that very experiece! You want to know whats wrong with this? Bosses think that personal assistants can do design jobs.

   that’s whats wrong with this.

   having had just a touch of design training (I actually got the more worthless EVERYTHING degree… yes, people don’t understand that I can do, EVERYTHING.) I totally want to barf every time I see this kind of crap…

   Guess what my job is now? I field send in’s for embroidery from lands end. So much clip art, and badly crapped up junk gets filed my way as if I can make it perfect by simply choosing some thread colors, and firing off an email to India (or thailand)

   oh… oh,

   oh… we are doomed to be defeated by china and their incredible Olympic opening performance… why!
