About the design

Noel Jackson of Eight6 designed Captioning Sucks. The brief was simple – to be as garish and vulgar as possible, like a tabloid or a really badly designed advertising flyer. We’ve already got the word SUCKS in the title – why put on airs?

Noel came up with the excessively bright blue/green homepage layout and mezzotinted page header. We think the Captioning Sucks homepage may be the only viable usage of Comic Sans on the entire Web. Inside pages are deliberately more conventional.

All pages have a print stylesheet and print in normal black and white.
