can jbenton I enjoy experimentation but my question is... what is the point? What motivates it? Design for the sake of design is pointless unless it accomplishes *something* and I don't understand what the motivation is here...Permalink On twitter.com

can jbenton I think what really bothers me isn't even if it is or is not harder to scan, but that it doesn't actually take a design position on the large amount of white space that is the standard news design. It's about the same amount of white space just shoved around...Permalink On twitter.com

can jbenton Arguably it's *more* white space, but not in service of readability but this arbitrary web designer BS that white space is good. I think it underestimates reader's interest in information density which is the exact same problem as every other modern media-site design :/Permalink On twitter.com

can jbenton The unmotivated design creates some really really weird choices. Like, browsing thru I found this article which is so actively limited by the design: you're being asked to compare photos... but they're obnoxiously large full-content-column photos gawker.com/celebrity/the-nosePermalink On twitter.com
