Guess what: it’s readable! Yes, that is right. Check out the new homepage – www.wired.com. And you can bet that just like all of the layouts that have graced Wired’s web ventures through the years, this one will inspire designers and launch mucho webpages.
The new layout is much more than cool. It’s easy on the eyes. It is one more indication that old-school typography is the new thing online. Readability and legibility are the big new ideas. Simplicity with style.
I recommend clicking through the history of the site’s designs since 1994. http://blog.wired.com/wiredphotos60/
It’s like looking back at your high school yearbook – ‘Oh yeah, I remember that hairdo. What was I thinking?!?’ And of course, someday soon the great designs of 2007 will get the same response.
