Web Design is 95% Typography (2006) (informationarchitects.net)

this is apparently blogspam that embeds the original article from iA:

http://informationarchitects.net/blog/the-web-is-all-about-t...


Heh, that makes sense. I was thinking "wow, the article is about typography and the body of the post looks appropriately good; if only they hadn't ruined it with the stupid static header..."


And also note that these "lessons" are just collections of articles from all over -- essentially a collection of "5 things that you should do for design" articles.


Yeah, severely unimpressed with Hackdesign. I had high hopes when they launched. I thought they would offer a unique way to learn design (you know, given the name and all), but instead, they're just relaying knowledge that's already out there.


People had great expectation about Hackdesign, but nobody can teach you design the way one can teach you programming (do this, not that etc.), you have to teach yourself, choose the way you want to see the world and try to design things in this way.


A mod fixed the blogspam, so it now directs to the original article.


Hi thanks, I realised only after I posted it!


maybe you should make your fonts instantly load then load the font, rather than sitting on a blank screen with no fonts but the general layout for 30s
