Hmmm. Good or not good?

I got curious about what the website of one of my former design professors might look like. He was very intimidating to me 30 years ago -- and promoted Swiss grid design almost exclusively. I checked out his site, and found that it looked just like the work he used to want to us to produce for print. I'm not at all convinced, however, that it works well in a web site. What do you think?

On the other hand, it's still representative of his style, and is that an important criterion when designing a site for a designer?

  1. Hmmm, indeed. My understanding from the interview and through my research is that the website is merely another tool to get the artist's name/work into the public eye. It would seem to me that for the interest of the artist, to create something simple and easily navigable would best suit this....am i wrong?

  2. The grid is very obvious in this one.
