JSngry Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Posted September 17, 2003 I don't like how this one turned out, but I spent too much time learning as I went along to trash it. Sorry. Quote

Brandon Burke Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 One of the problems I have with Patrick Roques -- and I don't have many, he does a fine enough job -- is that he employs too many fonts. If you look closely at Reid's designs, you'll notice he seldom combines more than one font and often sticks to only one In graphic design circles Reid Miles was famous for mixing fonts. He called it something like "the liberation of type". Interesting you say that, Chuck. My brother is a graphic designer and we've had arguments about this topic for years. Certainly there are a number of examples of him (Reid) mixing fonts. I guess my point goes back to the whole Photoshop thing. Patrick mixes fonts in a manner I associate immediately with graphic design software. This is probably because a lot of Patrick's go-to fonts are too modern and too crisp to have ever appeared in a 50s/60's design. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted September 19, 2003 Report Posted September 19, 2003 Kari, nice job! Love the old BN logo at the bottom right. It might be an old logo to you, but to me it was a sign of deadly decay. Quote
BFrank Posted September 20, 2003 Report Posted September 20, 2003 Here's one that may win the "ugly" award! Quote
