A weblog mostly, though not entirely, about graphic design, A Word in Your Ear is strikingly simplistic at first glance. The initial attention grabber is the large banner at the top of the page. The red banner features what appears to be a 3-dimensional button with the name of the weblog and a catchy tagline written just under the button.
The posts typically revolve around the visual design industry or concepts of design. The author does occasionally deviate from this pattern to discuss his personal life as well. In these much less common posts, we are able to get a deeper view of the author and enjoy a bit more of his personality.
The layout of the site uses a basic Blogger template with a few extras. In addition to the aforementioned banner, the site has extensive archives as well as links to books written by the author of the weblog. To facilitate the discussion of concepts, the author has also posted links to significant post from the past.
This page is probably of great interest to those involved in graphic design, but there is little to attract or maintain the attention of any others. However, even though the posts are geared toward a specific audience, both the style of writing and set-up of the site itself are deserving of praise.NULL
