I really enjoy Plastic, the new news and culture aggregation site. But it’s crammed with what design genius Edward Tufte calls chartjunk – lots of heavy boxes surrounding all the stories and headlines, making everything hard to read, or at least harder than it needs to be. They’re partnered with Feed, which recently redesigned to an understated, clean, beautiful look. Plastic, heal thyself.
I tried to send a feedback e-mail to Plastic, but I couldn’t find any sort of e-mail link that wasn’t intended to send a story to them. Another big mistake for a news community site.
