How odd (and some great) stuff

   In an effort to consume something applied arts delicious I found the 2009/2010 American Web Design Awards, 2010 American Package Design Awards, 2009 American Graphic Design Awards and 2009 American In-house Design Awards(http://www.gdusa.com/winnersgallery2.php).
   Much of the featured work is, indeed, very good. But two things struck me as odd.
   The most important of the two, by far, is the site all this precious work is featured on – cluttered with competing advertizing. How ironic, right?
   I should end it there, but there was one other item. Among the 2009 APDA Award Winners (http://www.gdusa.com/contests/apda/08/winners/types/retail.php) there was a package design that is either really edgy of amazingly stupid (or maybe our culture is so over saturated it doesn’t matter and it just might be clever enough to get bought). Guess the flavor? wow.
