Anyone one else find the design of this site lacking?
The color palette destroys any chance of visual hierarchy. I couldn't find enough negative space on the page to rest my eye much less start reading an article or digest the navigation.
I actually agree, for the most part. It is noisy and busy and really quite a mess... But I don't think it's entirely the palette -- it's also how they've implemented the graphic elements. That little dark grey block at the end of every bar of color (which are busy enough themselves with a gradient AND diagonal lines) is really junking things up.
I'm hoping the content proves valuable, though.
If somebody writes about design and has a page that looks like this I just run away - This one is cluttered with senseless visual junk :(
It's so difficult to find any meaning in this... Let's go somewhere else
