Mark talks about typography and art direction (or the lack thereof) on the web, noting that while many web designers are making content legible and on-brand, very few are actually telling stories with it. I couldn’t agree more.
Part of the problem here is a purely practical one. In journalism, for example, there is now a demand for news to be posted right freaking now, which means content management systems and templates. That’s somewhat understandable in breaking news type situations, but why aren’t more news sites art directing weekly features and special pieces, which generally aren’t so time-sensitive and have adequate prep time?
