i have become a disillusioned, bitter, sarcastic old man. the innocence and naivety of youth left me long ago.
upon graduation, armed with a bachelor of fine arts, i truly believed i could make the world a better place.
i once believed proper kerning would house the homeless.
i once believe a solid understanding of color theory would feed starving children in africa.
i once believed the pantone color system would cure colon cancer
i once believed designing with a grid would over throw cuban dictatorship
i once believed the simplicity and elegance of helvetica would free the oppressed
i once believed if we all measured in points and picas it would lower the price of beer.
i once believed proper leading ensured eternal life after our physical death.
older and wiser, i have realized none of that matters. slogging through life on this miserable little planet, and suffering through poorly designed websites, street signs, product labels, and teen magazines is a personal hell that i have been sentenced to by the grand designer.
that being said i do have one small request. can we possibly redesign the governments warning system using proper color theory? if it all is going to end soon, at least let the messenger should look good.
