Contemporary graphic design meets porn. Obviously NSFW.

  • ...and porn is the loser!
  • I actually liaised with Uzik (the Paris-based design studio behind this) last year: they designed a site for my employer, and they showed us the Pornocombo site as part of their portfolio. Although I'm not really into Flash, which seems to be their main focus, I was very impressed with their work.
  • unreadable fonts, cryptic hyperlinks; what am i clicking on? is it art or is it pr0n? don't get me wrong... i've seen worse, as far as counter intuitiveness and usability are concerned. but i'm kinda lukewarm to this one. am i supposed to wank it or am i supposed to extensively decontruct the sucka in several critical essays?
  • Ahhhhh, Most deconstructionist essays are wanking.
  • Most deconstructionist essays are wanking. Yeah, the free play of the signifier is in practice a little less free than may have been supposed by some. If the synchronic is not adequately integrated with the diachronic, the method is enfeebled.
  • my bad. that should have read, 'should i mentally masturbate or should i just grab a napkin?'
