…field lines, potentially leading to insufficient options in the central areas to progress the ball. This commonly leads to the ball being played wide as a means to progress play and can force a team into a predictable crossing game. Therefore it’s not much of a surprise that Jorge Jesus has kept them apart during pre-season and ha…
I think the book is brilliant. If we claim to be lovers of typography, why would we argue against someone skillfully putting well-crafted typefaces together in a symphony of well-written communication? Why are graphical elements acceptable ways to differentiate between content types, but multiple typefaces are not?
pizza would be just as…lectic and that he could have accomplished the same thing with fewer typefaces, or one superfamily. For one thing, any design could be accomplished with fewer typefaces. Any pizza would be just as edible with no toppings, but sometimes I want a supreme, dammit! Again, your grandma doesn’t know what a superfamily of typefaces is and that’s because she’s got re…

Every typeface you choose to incorporate into a design is added responsibi…
…the belief that companies are doing a favour to young designers when hiring them. Work is work, and in an industry that has been so keen on fighting free work, it’s absurd that we endure this. The work interns do is work the company is charging the client for, so for that same reason it can …
The job ‘intern’, repeatedly incessantly in almost every design job board, has become such a widespread practice, that it’s nearly impossible not to know anyone who hasn’t done it. Lured with promises of ‘potentially integrating the company afterwards’, ‘expanding your portfolio’…
… Web Developer. Web Designers and Web Developers never questioned their roles and responsibilities. Web designers knew for example that their job envolved research, mockups, UX/UI, CSS, HTML, while Web Developers took care of the back end, PHP and the dynamic programming and such.
