Bad design reigns supreme now.
Nominally, this sort of design disaster is intended for tablets. However, having enormous header elements and too-large headlines actually makes it more difficult to read on a tablet. (Yep, just checked on my iPad.)
So what is the purpose of it, design-wise? Itโs not easier to read. Not on a phone, desktop machine or tablet. It doesnโt use less bandwidth and isnโt more attractive.
Iโm not sure, then. Just to change, I think, and it follows myrmidon-like all the latest worthless design manias.
Not sure if Iโll keep reading that site now. Itโs design is just painfully bad in every way.
