Design thread

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

There are so many great touches on this page, including:
-All of the jerseys line up against their first-round matchup
-Only the No. 1 seed gets the white jersey
-The page is actually also a Soduko puzzle and the winner is revealed when you figure out where the "9" goes.

OK, that last one is a joke.

Derek Simmons, the Albert Pujols of sports designers in my book (and by Pujols, I mean the best and way better than that fraud ARod), had to design a jersey for 100+ schools in preparation for this page.

I think this page was a great surprise for people Monday morning. Totally unexpected and cooler the more time you spend with it.

My God, I can only imagine how much time that took.

That's fantastic. Thanks for posting it.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

Always a goal to shoot for when serving the readers.

But in this case, it has some merit.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

That's really, really well done.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

And a mighty small one at that.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

You posted once, then wandered away, then came back on here JUST to be rude?

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

I usually ignore Mr. Schneider's "Rah, rah, three cheers for designers" comments. So I ignored his post initially.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

Only meaningful if you were to give some credit when credit is due. Otherwise, your rants possess no validity.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

Seems like I said the page had some merit. And I ignored the fact that 28 of the 65 uniforms are the wrong color for the first day of the tournament.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

But that was covered. Only the No. 1 seeds are in white. I like it much more with the color jerseys.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

Maybe so. But this is starting to prove my point again. Just saying the page has some merit, as I did, is not high enough praise. We have to come forth with glowing praise.

I just wonder what would happen if someone started a thread about articles, then insisted every comment be about how fabulous the articles are.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 3/15*

Not a fair comparison.

If someone went on every thread about an article and shredded, with no real basis behind it, just shredded writers in general...fair comparison.


That being said, I appreciated your first comment on it. And had your snide comment been made IN that post, I likely would have read right over it. But you having to come back in JUST to say it is what I didn't understand.
