design website

I find the website that we are to look at about graphic design to be pretty ugly looking at first look. The font and colors chosen make it look like something from the early 90's if websites had existed then. The whole website is dumb. The first thing you see is a bunch of advertisments for contests and other junk. You have to click on links on the side that really don't even advertise what this junk is that you should click on. When you do click on something, it just takes you to some random wierd pictures that the captions don't even describe what you are looking at. This looks like a website that was created by a bunch of drug users. I don't think this website is run by Americans. I would guess this is from Europe because it has that European strangeness to it and seems like the kind of thing young people over there would create. I don't understand the point of this site. Is it to inform about graphic design or to present a bunch of new age art design and tease the mind? The article section is somewhat informing. The authors write about ways to present designs and what is effective and what isn't. I think for a website that prides itself on graphic design, they sure are hypocrits. I chose to change the background colors and the text colors on my blog site, because it seems everyone has picked the same template and is using the same colors. It looks too plain being all white and grey, so I chose to change it to blue.
