WEB DESIGN

My rant . . .
Anybody who knows anything about web design wouldn't be caught dead using ARIAL font on their web pages! Are you wondering why? Read How to Spot Arial, Alien Typography, The Scourge of Arial, and Web Type 101. If you'd like to explore this topic further I highly recommend this article, Web Pages Aren't Printed on Paper by John Allsopp. And just for fun, try the Arial/Helvetica Quiz.

If you'd like to explore some real life examples of interface design failure check these two articles by Bruce Tognazzini:
