Most graphic designers I have known and worked with Hate Words. They don’t care to communicate diddly squat. They just want a pretty picture. Words are clutter to them, ugly little ink scribbles that wreck the picture, the total visual effect thought, wrongly, to be the goal.

In most web sites, you want action. You want to sell or explain or motivate. You are not just showing nice pictures and pretty colors and fantastic design (so-called).

But they hate words. They hate text. They have nothing to communicate, but color and form. Or so they seem to think, judging by their actions and by conversations with them on projects.

Lite blue text on medium blue backgrounds, they abound.

Low or no contrast is the curse of designers everywhere.
