Hello. You've arrived at Téa's blog, where she likes to muse about her findings and observations from the world of fun graphics, the web, and whatever else that she finds inspiring (or annoying) enough to post about.
In other words, you get all of Téa's verbal offerings here, as opposed to the usual resource downloads that can be found on the main part of this site.

I’m better than you because I go to design school
Posted on October 25, 2006 at 12:14 am under Tea's Musings
When it comes to the world of fandom graphics, I always find it rather interesting to read the kinds of discussions people have about what makes a good or a bad design. There’s always a dash of drama, a whole lot of trend following or bashing, and an ongoing debate on what works and what doesn’t. Then every so often, I’ll come across someone saying something like this:
Well, I know because I’m majoring in graphic design right now and…
This is then often followed by proclamations on why a particular icon or banner is good or bad, based upon their so-called expertise that’s been gained from the mere fact that they’re currently enrolled in some design classes. And every time I see yet another person using this as way of validation, I try to suppress the urge to cringe.
