Comments on: Wired Is Good but Weird http://www.markevanstech.com/2007/01/23/wired-is-good-but-weird/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:05:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Michael O'Connor Clarke http://www.markevanstech.com/2007/01/23/wired-is-good-but-weird/#comment-2510 Michael O'Connor Clarke Thu, 25 Jan 2007 15:43:00 +0000 http://markevanstech.com/?p=2053#comment-2510 Amen, Mark - I'm like you in terms of the love-hate relationship thing. I think the overall quality of their editorial work has been improving greatly in the past year, but the design still throws me off sometimes - and people like you and me are (I would have thought) pretty much exactly the target demographic. I like that the magazine is as much a thing of art as of science, but I hate that my failing eyes have to strain to decipher some of the more creative layouts. At least their designers these days (usually) manage to steer clear of that completely unreadable 8-point grey text on a silver background that was one of their favourites throughout the mid-90s.

This is the type of tech, that should get more press and I comend you for doing just that!

Makes me look forward to the fact that I'm not reading another TIME or Fast Company magazine (both which I also subscribe to.) Of course, the advertisements begin to blend into the rest of the content with this newest design, but that was their intention all along... On the contrary, I like the design of Wired magazine.

I would have linked to it but couldn't find it on the Wired site. cheers, Mark Michael,
