HATER'S GONNA HATE

So we're getting some negative feedback from our publication. Here's some of my favourite criticisms:

• Love the sentiment behind 'This Year I Will Try Not To' - though I can't help but feel more pursuaded by it if the designers behind this interesting little publication weren't so trendy themselves.. (Clinton Duncan, on Australian In Front)

• This year I will try not to... spell check? (Stuffee, on Australian In Front)

• Mixed feelings about this. Like the idea and some of the examples made me smile – but it feels a bit hypocritical: the muted colour palette, the ‘making of’ vimeo video, the product photography, the condensed sans serif type, the selling of a limited signed booklet… they kind of feel to me like things that could’ve been included in the project themselves. Am I over-cynical? Or is it intentionally ironic? (Luke Tonge, on FormFiftyFive)

• I taste of the mood boring. (Juliano Domingues, on Ideafixa, translated from Portuguese)

• Pra only to justify. I did not find without grace the idea, but the conception. I find that he had been made of exaggerated form, caricata, would be more legal. But the proper conception of the idea, passes a air of “superiority”, and this is place... (Advan Shumiski, on Ideafixa, translated from Portuguese)

And a nice one:
• It was a true nerdy designer moment of hysteric laughter when I came across the project “This year I will try not to” by Elliott Scott and Christopher Doyle. I guess you can call it a contract from two frustrated designers. I think we should all put our signatures on this one and agree with these guys. Super funny! (Inspiration Lab)

And this one, which could be either?
• Simply just bear in mind it’s all in your imagination what a person may achieve and how fast (Alysa Mccreless, on ChangeTheThought)

So, there you go. Generally negative comments.
