Design Rockism

My latest article for AIGA Voice magazine is Design Rockism. Trace design's topsy-turvy path from Josef Muller-Brockmann's 'Grid Systems' to the Groovisions Brockmann doll!

sometimes momus will come to me in dreams and criticize me terribly. he'll say that i am foolish and i make the obvious and undesirable decisions. i try to show him art and things that i love but he'll say that it is drab or unoriginal.
momus is true to his nature as a mocking deity there in those few dreams, but in life too. like when i loved christopher alexander and read a pattern language, notes on the synthesis of form, and the timeless way of building then on his full and expert livejournal he writes he dosn't like alexander. i wonder if there are other masochistic momus fans like me out here.
that you write for aiga just makes it better/worse for me.

Ha ha, well, we're not going to agree on everything, are we, darling? As for Alexander, at least you've got Eno on your side there. And he's bigger than me.

*raises hand*

He's never criticised me in my dreams, though.

That's a good thing...right?
