[Sigia-l] The Poetics of Information Architecture

[Sean Lawrence]

Funny thing is I thought Winger fans and Riot Grrrlllsss were mutually
exclusive entities.

I do admit I miss smoking all that wonderful crack and wearing my Natas
Kapas inspired baggies :^/

Who's smoking what here and what does the mod movement have to do with
ANYTHING related to design?

They expose their syllopsistic reliance on style over substance with this
salutation.

signed,
the rude boys

Wow. Impressive. As the thread goes on you can tell these people are mostly
immature, michelob-swilling malcontents with nothing better to do. They're
just getting their kicks annoying people with real jobs.

I personally found Graber's article a little flowery for my taste (and I've
got one of those MFA's in poetry too), but to each his own. Glad somebody's
making the connections between these practices, and glad someone is
acknowledging (and that ComArts is giving air to) the "art" and "heart" of
IA work.

As for our little designer friend, if he can't understand this connection,
he's neither an artist nor a true designer. To contradict many a BFA grad's
assumptions, a degree and smartass attitude do not a designer make.
