Is anyone annoyed as much as me with the

[Mr.Bill]

black and red set graphics on MSNBC? I mean what the hell were they thinking?

1. Nazis?

2. the answer found you: hell

or inspired by previous response:

“h e i l”

Those sure are not the colors of the Miami Dolphins, the Green Bay Packers, the Yakult Swallows.

3. It's terrible.

It reminds me of something out of the Third Reich.

[Mr.Bill]

4. More like the third grade to me. n/t

5. Ok...that's funny!

[Mr.Bill]

6. Thanks. I have my moments. n/t

7. Didn't even notice.

The discussion is excellent.

8. I don't like it, but I also sympathize with producers,

…who have to make these calls. Intensity requires intensity, and it’s not being framed as just a blue/red thing, a la every campaign/election special. It’s a pretty unique and consequential day.

Limited options, graphically. I’m cutting them some slack. Besides, it is the people and their voices that I am tuning in to experience.

[Mr.Bill]

9. 40+ years in the printing business

has cursed me with critiquing every graphic I see.

12. This former art director agrees with you. They're f-u-u-u-u-u-gly.

[Mr.Bill]

13. I never did design, just ran printing presses

producing high end business stationery. The 80s in Silicon Valley was a spectcular time and place for business graphics. This was all pre-digital. Photo typesetting, art boards photographed by giant cameras to make negatives to burn plates from, etc. And the venure capital being thrown around (and away) was crazy. I printed 1,000 business cards for a client that cost $1,000.

17. I started as an artist at a print shop. Learned stripping...

and plate making too for a little Chief 15, not for the real high-end jobs.

Computers came in during the middle of my career so I had a foot in both worlds. Ended up working with Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, Illustrator and other computer programs for newspapers and magazines.

Kinda glad I'm out with the coming of AI, deep fakes, ChatGPT and all where one doesn't have to develop real skills, just use the artificial intelligence to do the work for you.

It's getting to the point where who knows what's real anymore. They're even reproducing old masters' paintings and some idiots are claiming they're better than the originals, which of course is ridiculous as ya can't imitate actual creation and paint on canvas, brush strokes and thick texture like Van Gogh with AI.

11. Best description yet.

18. Welcome, from the dark side.

[IcyPeas]

14. It's horribly unpleasant to look at.

15. If you're keeping score on key-colors,

look at coverage of all of the women in the T**mp Bedminster event: red dresses everywhere. Weird.

19. I noticed the red dresses too. It's getting...

so Stepford-esque and Handmaid-y with these nazi wannabes.
