@BertBlommen RIP Tom Hautekiet. Helaas weer een duur hipsterbureau (TIN) erop gezet.

@_TommyMason @Sarahbonddesign I once ditched a client because he demanded to change the typeface I had used in the design to either Montserrat or Raleway.

@Chris_McGinn_ @logogeek What I’m trying to say here: either design a symbol or a wordmark. If you do the latter, don’t pretend it’s meant as a symbol if it turns out people can’t read it.

[Bart Rylant Ontwerp @bartrontwerp]

@Chris_McGinn_ @logogeek To me the KIA logo is too close to type to be considered a symbol. And too close to a symbol to be a legible wordmark. It’s actually not of both. Nobody would try to read the Nike swoosh. Ask people to draw the FedEx logo and most people will have the font and colours wrong.

@MyFonts @dgtlnk Shouldn’t be happening. A completely unnecessary counter should not block an entire website.

@scottnichols @DannPetty Good (graphic) design has died the last 10 years because marketeers think every design decision needs to be justified by research. I loved the time when designers were actually marketeers with a sense of style but without the marketing blablabla.

Imagine @verbb_io would make a calendar plugin for #craftcms. It would probably be the best calendar plugin on the market.

[Bart Rylant Ontwerp @bartrontwerp]

@_TommyMason Nah. That’s just a monthly feature update for which you are paying a great deal every month until eternity.

@TheAdmiral @hankchizljaw “And we want to show 10 pictures of the office.” “Wouldn’t it be better to choose 1 great pic?” “But our office has many amazing corners. Can’t you show them all? Like in this little slider-thing?” “I wouldn’t suggest that because […].” “We think it would be great!”

[Bart Rylant Ontwerp @bartrontwerp]

@ben_pylo That’s amazing!

@_TommyMason Work hard play hard (with a soccer table in the background).

@AisleOne @sannewijbenga Totally agree. The internet became a place with dull websites all looking the same. 20 years ago the coolest websites were designed and developed by 1 person or a small team. Now we have split up aspect and 50 “senior” ui/ux/design/… people are involved in 1 bland site.

@ruffsnap @SquareBubbleNRG @yikeodom @Adobe + there was an option to only buy InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. Now it’s one or all apps. Adobe saying “it’s expensive because you get so many apps”. I don’t need 80% of those apps.

[Bart Rylant Ontwerp @bartrontwerp]

@ruffsnap @SquareBubbleNRG @yikeodom @Adobe Fact is you could buy it and use it for however long you wanted. Now: if I stop paying for one month, I can’t even open my old archived files because I’m not paying anymore.

[Bart Rylant Ontwerp @bartrontwerp]

@Adobe Text disappearing in latest InDesign.
