Great writeup,
The reason the one on the right looks so appealing is due to white space. If you look at The New York Times you will see plenty of white space, when you have lots of information, having area’s where the eye can relax is key. This is also called information architecture and the use of fibonacci’s golden rule. informationarchitects.jp is a place where you can learn a lot about it. We covered a couple of stories, but most don’t understand it and don’t wish to understand it.
This type of design also goes hand in hand with grid layout. But in my experience, corporate companies and large industries don’t know what these things are, and don’t see the benefit in them. They want colors, big images, big logo’s, and basically everything the web wasn’t created for.
Good read!

Helvetica Neue, Georgia, the usual suspects, really. Nothing too fancy… simple tastes.

Thanks for stopping by Aaron. Besides the evil Arial, what’s your favourite font?

Well, that’s a great photo to have up on the monitor at work.

So did he go into the scourge of Arial in that movie? I’m one of those crazy fontography types as well, and seem to spend far too much time educating folks on what Arial is, and why it’s evil.
