Were they just bored at the NYT?
The New York Times has gone to a totally new look on their web site. New layout, new organization, new colors, new font.
It all adds up to a site that looks smooth. And is, IMHO, a disaster.
They must have spent real money on this for many months. Un-creative creative meetings. Bickering about art. Grumblings of the loss of integrity in the news business.
Monica: "Jerrod's the best web designer in the business, bar none. A genius."
Tom: "But I can't read it."
Monica: "Jerrod says this font is his favorite though."
Katherine: "I can't read it."
Monica: "You're all totally missing the point. This font is hot. You're all just blind to aesthetics."
Jim: "I can't read it."
Monica: "Whatever. We're going with this. Punch says this one's my decision. You guys just don't get it." She closes her pad. "Oh - and guys? Three button blue blazers?" She rolls her eyes. "So 2005. You should pick up a GQ now and then. Seven button...pastel. Timeless."
