America Is F*cked…….(Graphically at least)
This is Aaron Draplin telling me a story about a sign. He’s a graphic designer and very passionate about what he does. Strong language- mostly lots of F words.
My graphic design friends will enjoy, be angered by and frustrated with this story.
For historical reference, Blippo was designed in 1969.
I think the bigger issue here is taste and the ugly reality that most people don’t have it. Every month I attempt to save clients from themselves; i.e, from bad fonts, obnoxious effects and shitty photos. As a rule, the harder a designer tries to improve upon a client’s poor taste, the more vehemently the client will reject the option.
The hotel owners probably wanted the sign that way.
