Does anyone else think that that "Communications" is over-designed.
It has become so baroque, no ... even rococo, that is getting hard to
find anything in it or read it.  I am not talking about the quality of
the articles, but rather the actual layout/pasteup and use of color.

I subscrbe to Aldus magazine, and Communications is even more guady than 
that publication (whose job is to show people how to incorporate fluff and
graphics-junk into their publications).

I think it's the "revenge of the PC Correct Graphic Designers from Mars".
