how you treat those that question that? well that’s your communities conversation.

It was already done :

For me, the blog a mixture of design and ads. There are some posts i like, some that i don’t, probably there are sponsored posts in the blog…and that’s all.
Design is an ads itself

We discussed and couldn't reach a conclusion. If we decide to change, it will be after few week. The problem is that we lack contributors.

I just that like that the fediverse is a escape from the rest of the internet littered with someone trying to sell me something

Who wouldn't. You may try the internet protocole Gemini. No picture, only text. :)

I was a typographer for many years

I worked in space design as a student. When i was a student, teacher gave us several task based on real life work. The first step was aswering people needs, analysing our market and targetting.

Then, the second step is creating the product and make it appealing through drawing, text, picture, feature...we were designers and advertisers.

So, i the line find between design and ads blur, that's the opposite with painting but maybe that's because they were old and i'm not the targes ?

For me, the blog was like reading a newpaper presenting a car's, or new clotch from a famous designer...


I am always happy to see some graphic design, A nice building, I something that’s considered, beautiful, I personally enjoy clever use of design and print design, I was a typographer for many years, and I esp love design history

Share it 😊

    "For me, the blog a mixture of design and ads. There are some posts i like, some that i don’t, probably there are sponsored posts in the blog…and that’s all. Design is an ads itself"

    So i invite you to do a design showcase/critique on the content, and what about it meets the merit of design?

    I am not trying to be factious, just curious of your logic on this, because I see the standard template product promotion from the photography style to the linear block by block layout.

    I understand you need people posting but the resistance to call the article an ad is bizarre. Product placement advertising is stretching from away from design to marketing/sales. I understand the two are linked. but there is a fine line.

    By all means ignore and justify why this stuff is posted but honestly IMO it ruins the credibility of small forums like this. I don't mind kitchen products, I love utensils, but i at least call it what it is.
