People are ignoring the old stuff and paying idiots to design their Danielle Steel covers (or Hotel Signs) like shit. With decorative page breaks that look like math symbols and $15,000 signs that use letraset.
I believe that's Aaron Drapplin or at least somebody in the documentary they're making. He's a fairly prominent designer who's work I respect. Also he's sorta cute!
He brings up some fairly good points -- the new sign took NO time whatsoever, and it's obvious. It lacks a "soul" and I'd be ashamed to charge $15,000 for the new sign.
