“ Apple is not above design criticism. Nor should any company or company’s products that directly impact the populace. But does that hold true for individual designers? What about Massimo Vignelli, Chermayeff and Geismar, Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast, who Lange singles out as “legends.” All are or are about to be in their 80s. Does a lifetime of work exempt their work from evaluation? If they are still producing after all these years, which all of these designers are, shouldn’t they get some kind of senior discount?”

“ DW’s website is reinventing itself as ‘design news’, but as for where you can go for pithy, considered design writing other than Eye, and occasionally Design Observer? It’s a little bleak. Since writing over 400 words on any blog is asking for trouble (this is word number 1,139 of over 2,000 and many of you will have linked out by now) the answer is that original, objective design writing is getting harder and harder to find.”
