The mirror crack’d 3 May, 2007

I hoped that the ‘mirrored everything’ effect would disappear before I got a chance to write about it. It’s just such a useless ‘me too’ fad, like drop shadow 10 years ago. Take this example from the .net framework website. It actually makes the headline more difficult to read because the letter shapes are less distinct.

And what to do with those pesky descenders? (They do so tend to break the illusion.)

If you want my advice, lose the reflection and stand out by being different.
