Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 20:03:42 As a visual designer I shouldn't be saying it but @pluralistic just reminded me how much I loved MySpace and how my young adult obsessive creative personality with a passion for punk zines and comics was constantly changing and shuffling stuff in my profile. It was so fun to go on my friends profile and see what they did with theirs and exchange tips.

Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 22:36:58 @nsmsn @alx @pluralistic I think about half of us, myself included, learned by View Sourcing, but the other half learned from @lemay's book! (Medien: 1) |
Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 23:00:55 @jef @nsmsn @alx @pluralistic @lemay Here in Germany, we all learned it from #SelfHTML. https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/SELFHTML Edit: Should have mentioned @selfhtml as well, since they are here (of course)! |

Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 22:43:36 @mizblueprint @pluralistic I was just starting my architecture journey (which I later abandoned for visual communication), and itβs true, some profiles (probably even mine in at least some of its many iterations) were very messy. But it was so amazing to go around and see how everyone was expressing themselves, in a way that was personal and collective at the same time. And the music: I remember trying to match the style with the song. Basically MySpace was a collection of digital zines |
Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 22:57:32 @alx @hypebot @pluralistic I hated MySpace. I was young, into Typography, and could not imagine in my wildest dreams how incredibly boring the web would become. |
Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 23:15:16 @fleg @hypebot @pluralistic I always thought the worst nightmare for typographers were the illegible metal band logotypes (which I graphically loved though found them frustrating when I went to big festivals and was trying to read the posters to see who was playing were). Now that I think of it, MySpace was full of those bandsβ profiles so I guess it makes sense ππ |
Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 23:32:36 @alx @hypebot @pluralistic The opposite, actually (I have written permission to speak for all designers in the fediverse, btw). I love them π€ ! They really care about each bloody hook that goes into the logo, and i very much appreciate that. |
