Lines: 21 In-reply-to: rlw@IDA.ORG's message of 5 Jun 91 11:33:30 GMT Does anyone else think that that "Communications" is over-designed. It has become so baroque, no ... even rococo, that is getting hard to find anything in it or read it. I am not talking about the quality of the articles, but rather the actual layout/pasteup and use of color. I subscrbe to Aldus magazine, and Communications is even more guady than that publication (whose job is to show people how to incorporate fluff and graphics-junk into their publications). I think it's the "revenge of the PC Correct Graphic Designers from Mars".
