As I’m writing this I’m looking for a nice theme for this blog, but I’m getting really irritated that almost all the designs have practically the same layout and that annoying glossy button look to it. In my honest opinion, I think we did that, we enjoyed it, now it’s time to wipe the shine off things, no more glossy edges.
Also relax with the font replacement. Unless you’re really going to push typography on the web forward and use a font that’ll actually make way more of an impact than a standard web font, let’s calm down with the sIFR and the Cufon.
Another thing winding me up is how designers all have stuff like “Hello My Name Is Such and Such, I make cool stuff.” or “Hello My Name is Josh, I am a designer.” I don’t really know why I find it so annoying, it just feels so cliche, try-hard and hipster-ish, a,most like when you go to one of those trendy organic coffee stores and they write about how great your coffee is in a patronisingly conversational way like “Hello. We make coffee. Fresh. In fat we get up every morning to pick every bean indvidually and…”
Ah, shut up.
