Moss hates Papyrus

It is my understanding that anyone that chooses to take a graphic design course will learn that the font type known as "Papyrus" is the very spawn of Satan himself. It is also my understanding that this is not because Papyrus is an inherently bad font, but rather that people who choose to use Papyrus (being people that, apparently, don't know shit about graphic design) use it incorrectly. Supposedly it is okay to use Papyrus if your business has an Egyptian theme.

Naturally, Moss has still bitched about Papyrus even when the business, movie, or other noun in need of a font has, in fact, been Egyptian themed.

Okay, maybe it was some other Middle Eastern or Mediterranean themed thing, but the area is generally the same so... does it really matter?

I find that we tend to get overly picky about small things. I do it all the time with music, but I feel that when I am actually creating music I know what it is I want to hear and I want it to sound good. So, yeah, I'm going to be picky about it. When I listen to other music I will make note when harmonies are off or people can't sing, but I know that I have my opinion and I just like being able to give examples of why I hate something.

In contrast, I think I get so annoyed about the Papyrus argument because it seems like before these graphic design classes no one even takes note of Papyrus. But, after they learn from a teacher that it is a horrible thing that should be thrown back into the fire from whence it came, all of a sudden it becomes the thing that makes the graphic design artist cringe.

Sure, it's not really any different, but I guess it's how people come at it that bothers me so much.

In other news, you might not be able to tell, but I double spaced between sentences for this comic. That's another graphic design faux pas that I hope will make Moss lose it when he reads this.

At least there's a solid reason behind the need to single space while using a computer. It's pretty hard to argue against that one.

The more you know.
