hydropis:

You know, at some point I graded first year graphic design students. Graphic designers generally design print media so their websites are absolute trash. At least at that college they were trash. I learnt from them for a year, I know how bad their sites are. They don’t understand grids and usability. Usability being how logical a website is and how user friendly it is.

At some point I had to grade a kid who had comic sans all over his website, black borders everywhere and neon colours with clip art to spice it all up. But every thing was still clear. The font was chosen to be easier to read, the buttons were all located in an easy to spot place and overall I didn’t have issues navigating his absolutely horrible looking website.

Right now, I believe that the kid that made that horrendous website as a first year graphic design student, would still be able to put together a more logical layout design for Tumblr than anyone over at Tumblr could ever do.

I don’t complain easily about changes in websites because I know 99% of the time they’re actually for the better. That’s my semi-professional opinion. It’s been a while since I worked at a webdesign/development agency and I kind of changed what I do over time.

But this?

This is absolute shit.

Dont ask artists for free art you scrubs

How to waste your talent while losing your friends all at once because all you care about is money: A tumblr guide on how to be a cunt to those who admire you.

Imagine if the Mona Lisa was a commission and s/he had no money.

the mona lisa was a commission you shitshill, that’s how artists make a fucking living. it’s how we get the money to pay for things we need, because we don’t want to spend all our time working in a shitty job instead of doing things that are important to us, like working on personal projects or spending time with people we like. by thinking that you deserve free art is basically telling them “your time and skill isn’t worth anything but my personal enjoyment!” and if someone only wanted to be friends with me for free art, i don’t want that friendship because that sounds like an awful friend. artists are people with lives and often art is our only source of income and if you really admired us you would understand and support that.

jesus fucking christ “imagine if the mona lisa was a commission” rolls head back and laughs

“imagine if the mona lisa was a commission” AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

IMAGINE IF THE MONA LISA WAS A COMMISSION HOLY SHIT

In 1809, the Spanish town of Huéscar declared war on Denmark, then forgot about it for 172 years. Not a single shot was fired, no one was killed, and a peace treaty was finally signed in 1981 when a historian randomly found the official declaration and realized they were supposed to be fighting.
