Stop designing websites, start designing posters (boagworld.com)

Couldn't agree more ... that is, once I have a good selection of downloadable fonts, and browsers support most desktop-publishing trix (like fonts set along curves ... good luck, CSS! ... and shapes other than rectangles). Because nothing kills a "poster" faster than having to use the same handful of crappy web-standard fonts everyone's seen 2000 times ... and setting them into box upon box upon box.


The title for this article is right at the bottom of my screen when I first load the page. Not a great example of design.
