How to troll Responsive Web Design zealots: Troll level over 9000

by

Hey everyone. Look. Responsive web design is many things including these three:
  1. Here to stay
  2. Super cool
  3. Perfect for many sites
However, responsive web design will not do many things, too, including these three:
  1. Make coffee
  2. Print money
  3. Walk your dog
Impossible, unbelievable, but true! Like I said in my previous very very short post, wherein I was referred to as a troll, I might actually write something to do my part to curb the responsive web design enthusiasm syndrome, but for now, I just want to troll post this cartoon. Enjoy your day, really! After you are done thinking about trolling me back in the comments, do stop and look at this great collection of responsive web design infographics and learn something cool! troll-rwd

Typography Quote of the Day: Bringhurst on Timelessness and Time

by

alextrochut.com

 “In a world rife with unsolicited messages, typography must often draw attention to itself before it will be read. Yet in order to be read, it must relinquish the attention it has drawn. Typography with anything to say therefore aspires to a kind of statuesque transparency. It’s other traditional goal is durability: not immunity to change, but a clear superiority to fashion. Typography at its best is a visual form of language linking timelessness and time.”

—Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style

Graphic Design Quote of the Day: The Grid System — an aid to personal style

by

Works of Bachmann-

Le Corbusier

“The grid system is an aid, not a guarantee. It permits a number of possible uses and each designer can look for a solution appropriate to his personal style. But one must learn how to use the grid; it is an art that requires practice.”

—Josef Muller-Brockmann

  “I still reserve the right, at any time, to doubt the solutions furnished by the Modular, keeping intact my freedom, which must depend on my feelings rather than my reason.”

— Le Corbusier
