    Oh… typography let me count the ways how i love thee! There was only a few I didn’t like particularly (start right now & what’s wrong? nothing) but I do believe that typography is a personal taste so it’s nothing personal, they are good they just don’t quite sit right with me.

    Only a few really good designs here. Most are just ok but lack any real typographic skill, and #2 on this list is God-freaking-awful. Put down the rainbow gradients, bad type and free download textures, and step away from the computer.
