Presenting the Whole Story

I once worked for a boss from another country who was a dedicated, intelligent and thoughtful person who taught me a great deal about showing initiative and driving for achievement. Despite English being her second language, she was articulate and well-spoken, with one notable exception—clichés. She would misuse, misinterpret and combine clichés in alarming, nonsensical ways.

In 1995, the surfer turned internationally recognized graphic designer, David Carson, boldly declared the "End of Print" as the title of his first collection of printed work. His declaration was true to his flamboyant and misunderstood style which challenged the social norms associated with typography and design of his generation. In a similar style, Wired Magazine has thrown down the gauntlet in their September cover story and declared, the "Web is Dead". The premise? As the internet has evolved throughout the last 20 years of relative infancy, consumers are now less likely to "Surf" the World Wide Web as they are to turn to one of millions of simpler, sleeker services, spoon-fed to consumers by way of the app.
