    Up to the artist to use any tool with discretion.

    Apple could have just as easily showcased stuff like this…

    But when the goal is to wake up discussion and build buzz, more is often … well. more.

    Prepare to have your mind blow, those of you who mock the 3-D type.
    If you use drop shadow…. you’re making “3-d type”.

    Or at least the illusion of it.

    We survived the heady days of Kiki Wipes and Falling sheep transitions; this too shall pass.

    As to the idea that the fonts as shown are too “over the top” for “practical” use, well, I think if you play with the settings on them, you will find there’s more potential there for “conservative” applications than you might at first suspect.

    I’m completely shocked by this difference of opinions regarding design choices.

    I was also wondering why this place couldn’t just be called “Cow”.

    [Walter Soyka] “3D type, much like the Force, may be used for good or evil.”

    Ha!

    Sure. Sure. But is that limited to 3D Type, only? We could say that about almost any aspect of media production.

    But “flat” “2D” text doesn’t automatically mean the design is going to look like it’s well put together.

    Bad design is bad design.

    Good design that has been outdated, will come back around.

    Software based design hasn’t been around enough to stand the test of time, so, in this case we are all still pioneering what may be designated as good design.

    Good luck to us.
