speaking of arrows… (sorry, worst segue ever!)
i hear the zazzlers had a mini-debate today over the use of arrows in the latest contributor newsletter. now, the inzider is a fan of all things 1997, but the ms paint aesthetic isn’t one of them. please don’t let me sway the vote… slip on the robe and judge for yourself.

I really loved the arrow on the bottom, very nice looking. The arrow on the top actually made me a bit nauseous. Please don’t let the designer of the arrow on the top use a computer ever again.

You’ve just put an arrow through my bleeding heart. Nothing beats MS Paint.

I am a huge fan of what I called: Digital Naive. I beLIEve we will see a huge comeback with MS Paint.

although I don’t like the specific instance of the ‘mspaint’ arrow, i think the overall aesthetic present there could work better than the one present in ‘not ms piant’. i really don’t think the ‘not ms paint’ arrow is a good idea, despite comparing it favourably to the above specific use of the ms paint style.
was that unclear? let me know and I’ll try and clarify.
