Design as Disease

york.jpg

Noisy Decent Graphics offers a long post on design as a disease, a condition that forces you to stop in everyday situations and deconstruct a graphic design issue. (I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by bad kerning on signage [demonstrated in the image from NDG's post, above].)

This impulse is similar, I guess, to the grammar nazi phase that some budding writers exhibit, where they correct people's casual conversational exchanges in stores and coffeehouses. Eventually, you get to the point where you stop calling people out in public, or at least not as frequently, even though those misuses still catch your attention.
