Hypo-D-Crit

The New York based School of Visual Arts is now offering an MFA in “design criticism”. One might wonder if the first project for students would be a critique of the course’s own webpage; itself a hilariously dire attempt at their principle discipline - design.

Here are four problems with the this site that you won’t need an MFA in design criticism to spot.

  1. Image representation of text for navigation items and headers, without alt attributes
  2. Animated logo that makes it damn near impossible to actually read the site’s text
  3. Bizarre division of content with frames, adding no value
  4. Badly tiled background images which interfere with actual content
