80's Music & Fashion
February 01, 2004
Why don't some people get that not all 80's music was good?
Despite some Depeche Mode, FGTH, and Police classics, there was still loads of tat: Nikita, Nik Kershaw, not to mention Rick Astley.
The fashions of the 80's are not much better. When I saw someone recently wearing a jacket with a raised shoulder, I thought it looked gammy. Same reaction as I had when I first saw it in the 80's. Just because we're 20 years on, a little wiser, infinitely sharper, doesn't mean that things that were once naff got anything better.
This applies to website design as well. I'm working on a site at the moment for a business coach. While researching what's hot and what's not in the world of business coaches, I couldn't believe the amount of poorly designed (c. 1995) sites that are out there. Luckily for my client, he came to Brightspark.
