CROWDCTRL

I am really enjoying Andy Rutledge’s new design. Huge type, an inspiring contrast with the black and bright yellow, and as always excellent content. I can’t stop looking at it. #

Nice breakdown of the Carmax website by Andy Rutledge: “CarMax would do well to remember the shopper’s mantra: get outta my way and let me shop.” #

Andy Rutledge takes a shot at the new AIGA website, designed by HappyCog, and backs his arg with a few #s: Fonts/Faces: 6, Link Colors: 6, Link Styles: 2. The site certainly goes in a new direction, but the jury’s still out for me on this one. The logo is freaking me out. I do know HappyCog’s own site is the best work I’ve seen that super crew (all of whom are out of this world) do collectively in the last few months. Methinks this redesign has a lot more to do with strategy and information design than blue plaid and typography. #
