Old Cheese and Blood
The best way to describe my web design and physical dress style is “not visually offensive”. I’m aware at best I’m a 7-8 our of 10 on the designer scale but I’m fairly confidant I can make something that looks pleasant enough to look at.
Now this isn’t hard or the result of practice as its usually me finding inspiration in fantastic web designs from smashingmagazine.com or any of the beautiful CSS galleries on the web so I’m a bit surprised when I see something truly ugly.
Of course I’m not going to “out” the website in question but the image in this blog post is a representation of a competitors website’s ( and I use that term loosely because they have other disciplines they market ) entire color palette.
To me that is visually offensive and I always wonder what happened in the creators mind when they designed something like that. Sure art is subjective however I’m not sure who appreciates the “old cheese and blood” look.
