I had an apology demanded of me by Eric Jordan a long, long time ago on a message board. I and others had been critiquing the new Lasik website they created maybe around 2001 or 2002 or something, that generally looked like everything else 2Advanced designed, and I was questioning the irony of 8px bitmap fonts used for all copy on the site. IT WAS A SITE FOR PEOPLE WITH POOR EYESIGHT, obviously, because the entire site was about improving eyesight with Lasik. I can't remember what exactly happened, but I questioned how a designer could ever go down the path that led to the final design that apparently had zero regard for the viewer's possible poor eyesight.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it's amazing how much has changed in 15 years. Concerns for user experience, accessibility, usability, multi-device views - there's almost no way a site of that style would ever be designed again for a client like that. Those wild west days of Flash and web design being so new sure got people a lot of work, but I'm happy to see how things matured as time went on.

contrary to what a ton of youngsters believe, there are shitload of gigs and contracts out there for interactive such as this. Not everything runs on a browser. :-)
