Yeah I know a lot of us are programmers but I admit I dabble with some artsy stuff on the side (RIP Yospos art thread :() and recently I've been getting way into old typefaces and incorporating them into my webdesign. Figured it'd be cool to have somewhere to discuss this poo poo since the Creative Convention forum is p. far up its own rear end.

one of the original 'solutions' to this was questionable and they changed it after a bunch of other designers yelled at them I may have been one of them

but there are multiple possible right answers in design where subjective taste can discriminate between them, kinda like in art.

take my posts for example, they're both well designed and artistic. if you don't think so then the problem is with you you dumbfuck.
