I actually thought it was a crappy article, largely because I don't
think the author knows very much about advertising art, or the art of
advertising. His comparisons were mostly fairly weak
Rich
I think you're over-reacting a little. Everyone seemed to think it was a good
article. I think pretty much everyone mentioned that, and appreciated that
you'd pointed it out. Some people -- including me, I admit -- pointed out
that, in a few cases, he wasn't comparing the items he thought he was
comparing. In most cases, he found a example from a re-issue which
might have had different art from the first release. In the example I pointed
out, he found an example from the first US release, but it was a test market
and not the poster eventually used for the release most people saw. (And,
yes, I'm biased; I designed the general release poster.) Yes, these could
be seen as complaints but they were mentions of corrections; ways to
make the article even better. Nobody said the article was bad or worthless
or anything of the kind. Just the same way people talk about movies:
because we don't love every aspect of a film doesn't mean we think the
movie is bad or disapprove of the people who made it.
Craig.
