Designer Hell

Thank Travis for this one.  If you’ve ever designed a website for a client that had no clue, this one should have you falling out of your chair.  Props to the guys at TheOatmeal for tellin’ it how it is.

Google testing new look (wave style) and how to enable it.

Google started testing a new look for Google Search … Perhaps a sign that everything Google will soon look like Wave?

I hope this “upgrade” in styling becomes a Google-wide phenomenon — although I guess I’m still left wanting.  Google has had a tendency to stick with minimalism in their design, but I’ve also found their products to feel a little too utilitarian – cold and functional but missing the form.  I’m not saying that Google’s design is ugly … well, yes I am.

If you’d like to check out this new look for yourself, you can enable the wave style look and feel by adding a cookie to your browser.  Just head over to google.com and paste the following JavaScript in your browsers address bar:

javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);
