About time

The University of Chicago's superlatively underwhelming home page is about to get a thorough makeover. I can't wait. From the looks of it, the style will be similar to the current Law School page, but more horizontally oriented.

I never wondered who designed the Chicago page because, well, it doesn't seem designed at all. Compare that to Pentagram's work for Brown, or the old Yale website, since replaced by a similar, if slightly more conventional in-house job.

¶ I remember knowing who'd done the old Yale design a few years back. In 1999 it was pretty revolutionary. But as much as I googled, I couldn't find the name of the firm.

Better late than never, I say.
