If so, he's a muppet for his own time.


Much of what he writes is about balancing communication clarity with speed/

attention span. Like you say, common sense. And designers are rarely paid to

be

sensible... they're more likely to be hired for being innovative, which

right

now usually means using/ pushing technology.


But as bandwidth/processing speed & user familiarity grow, then Jacob will

have

to move on from "designing sites with a left hand, 4 piece nav bar and

plain,

non-formatted text on the right" or face being yesterday's muppet.


And anyway, how many clients will actually pick a 'common sense' design over

an

'interesting' one?

So who's the real villain?
