Too much fucking swearing. Makes them sound like fucking students.

It's a bit like a white noise riser in a Bumload record. Guaranteed to get the kids cheering, makes the older and wiser heads cringe.

There's really no need for that kind of language

I am not remotely bothered about 'bad' language.

Think Terry finds the language a bit childish. Cant speak for wessel b.

I am an industrial design student doing my masters in designing interactions and though they are all true, its textbook design problem, work, motivation, solution talk.

Not saying its not valuable, its more that as a design student you need to learn those habits and your coach keeps reminding you. Then after you bachelors, you should def be able to do it yourself.

Yeah, let's just avoid the subject and keep discussing its form. Maybe that in itself is the main thing to consider in this thread. Kind of symptomatic. Isn't it?

I'm Scottish, not swearing is non-conformist.

But, but I don't WANT to work hard, or even fucking hard.

Can't I just pay someone to do it for me?

Remove the swearing and it's the same "motivational" shite you'll find on the wall of a call centre.

Yet many of those posting questions around here strive more for perfection than anything else. Maybe this just isn't adressed at you.

We wouldn't be having this conversation about some fucking poster in a call centre though, would we?

Haha, just giving me a chance to exercise my grumpy side more than anything else ;-)

I love language, and that includes swearing. Swear words are tools, just like other words. Well used they can be powerful, stimulating, clever, artistic even.

But this is low level motivational trite where an extra attempt has been made to add hipness or credibility to their intended audience by throwing in some language which isn't clever, or artistic or well judged. It doesn't disguise the banality of the rest of the text and adds nothing to the message; it's just designed to catch the eye. A cartoon cock and balls drawn at the top of the page would have more artistic merit IMO.

For the record, I wouldn't have made a remark except for the fact that the creators of these pieces have branded themselves as capable of giving 'Design Advice'.

Anyway, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment in the OP, and with the post that Stacie put up.
