Pop Quiz Today

Posted by admin in Bars, Events, Gay Design Disasters

If you only knew how much I hated school, and the anxiety that the three little words “Pop Quiz Today” produced, you would be proud of how far I have evolved away from my youth. Well, my mind is still more similar to a clown car than to a database, but anyway…

Here are 4 examples of Gay Graphic Design. For this quiz, smartypants students will comment on the most egregious features, and believe me, there is some egrege-ing gong on.
*************** *************** ****************

Example A (Hint: I swear to god if anyone likes this one (which seems actually more like a still from a girl scout CPR training-video, but TOO LATE, SHE IS DEAD!), I swear I will tie you to an uncomfortable folding chair and make you watch the entire final season of L Word over and over again. I’m serious.)che0

Example B
poioi

Example C oiuiou

Example D ashfksdh

    I like example A! Except for the weird lip thing going on there. That looks painful.

    Interesting. Do you like it for the promised punishment, the Fraktur font with drop shadow, or the race-y dirty bra part that the designer forgot to photoshop out of the image? Or they could have at least changed it to a red bra, to harmonize with the alternating red and black elements.

    Wait, I have to pick one which is the worst? Commentary on Example A:
    1) Kisser A and Kisser B seem to have two different colorists so that Kisser B (on the right) appears to be a mannequin (pun intended) or perhaps waxen or photoshopped in from the wrong teen after school summer camp coming out CPR special.
    2) The writing at the bottom is completely illegible. I believe this is what they call the fine print.
    3) Cherry font — The New York Times meets Vampira?

    Examples B and C are so obvious they really don’t deserve any commentary at all.
