OK, this is very nit-picky of me...
But I keep walking by this billboard on Grand Avenue, and it's bugging me.
First of all, the event in question happened a few months ago, so shouldn't the sign come down?
But the other thing that bugs me is the typography.
It's an eye-catching image, all right. The black-and-white, high-contrast design also contrasts nicely with the usual fare on such boards.
But what's with the scripty, flowing, hard-to-read main font... and then the equally hard-to-read all-caps computery font? How do the two fit together? What's the theme? I feel like I have to have more information about this event in order to get it... and yet this billboard is all the information I'm ever likely to get.
The worst crime of all? Well, try this...
Go on, tell me who is sponsoring the event.
When was it held?
What time?
Who is sponsoring it?
Where is it being held?
And now, just for fun, try to pick out the website address!
It's no longer the 1980s, or even the 1990s, so can we please please please stop acting like fake computer code is cool? Thank you, ever so...
