[Sigia-l] [Iai-Members] Architecture for the Information Age

[Peter Morville]

I'd agree that readability is important, just as it's important to avoid
putting a comma after a URL in an email message, to avoid compromising
clickability. But, hopefully we will all avoid focusing on surface so much
that we forget about substance.

It is indeed unfortunate that when you go to http://nowthatiseeit.com/,a
nicely designed site, the interview excerpts are in black type on a very
dark gray background -- utterly unreadable.... Now I See it in this case is
Now I don't.
Add this to the discussion on Web Aesthetics. How important is readability
as part of the aesthetic?
