computer CRAP



hahahahaha. wow. Well, ok while I was at church for confirmation class, we were handed all these pamphlets and flyers for info about Lent and I immediately looked at the back of them for ads that I thought might be horrible and the best worst ad caught my attention right on the bottom with Computer Guy. This designer obviously doesn't believe in any kind of alignment or have any respect for the tension they've created by scrunching all that text as large as they could in that little box of space. They have labeled the title with the same font as the service being listed and have not separated the title from the list in any way whether it be simple indentions or a change of pt size. Also the headline is done with Comic Sans - not a very professional typeface. Lastly, what an awesome graphic - its very niiice.

first, i don't think i would call this guy a designer. and if that drawing is the computer guy, he looks a lot like bob villa. I agree that tiny newspaper ads that are done by your avg joe could use a lot of help.

That cartoon dude kinda seems like Bob the builder to me...I am not sure I would hire a cartoon for anything! Everything is similar in scale...can you say hierarchy? The even spacing also is a major red flag. Poor guy...someone needs to help him out!
