Government subsidies for Ugly Design



We just got yet another rejection from some stupid WA guvmint program. The obvious problem is that our designs are not nearly ugly enough for guvmint. Seattle is supposed to be one of the most forward art and tech cities in the country. Yet, all their web pages and other designed communications look like total crap. See Seattle.gov.

I also love the part where they pretend it’s a big open bid, but they plan the entire time to use the same place they used previously. Thanks for wasting our time Washington’s Guaranteed Education Tuition program. I hope you enjoy your new Ugly as much as you enjoyed your old Ugly.

Please send us any state or local government designs that don’t make you want to barf all over their generic-diverse, stock-photoed cover.
