Anonymous asked: This is related to something you wrote about a while a go, but for a Comp Sci class next semester we are being paired up with a Communications Design (read Typography) course and our job is to implement their projects. So not pleased.

that sounds like an actual goddamn nightmare.  mad solidarity anon, don’t let the typography nerds get you down. 

also can I just say I am so pleased to have an anon who Gets It, my vague contempt for designers is the thing that baffles readers the most, it’s wonderful to feel less alone in this
