A couple of months ago I read an article in Computer Arts magazine about gender preferences regarding web design. As I read it, I wanted to scream. Women like soft colors and shapes. Men like bold colors and edges. It was so stereotypical.
I saw "The Devil Wears Prada" the day it opened. Meryl Streep ruled over the movie the way her character ruled over the fashion magazine's headquarters. One scene really hit home with me as a designer. Maybe you've heard the plot by now - Andy, a recent college graduate who wants to be a serious journalist, lands a job as the assistant to the bitchy editor-in-chief (played by Meryl Streep) of the nation's premier fashion magazine. She doesn't care about fashion, yet she has to attend the meetings when her boss selects the clothes that'll be featured in the magazine. As another assistant held two blue belts for the boss to inspect…I saw it coming.
