Response to NY Times article

I was really expecting more from this article than a narrow focus on traffic sign design. While the article did show an immense appreciation for good design, and a loathing for poor, I couldn’t help but feel that the author should have explored such ugliness in other fields of design as well. One point I really loved and agreed with, however, is when a company hires an individual to retain a design but ends up ruining it. That is one thing I also feel passionate about.
