Trends Mike Doesn't Like

Ahh, neon colors are back -- and being splashed across the covers of most general entertainment consumer magazines. Hot pink, sharp yellow, lime green, flourescent blue... egads, the '80s have returned! I half expect to see that drippy paint look and cheesy, futuristic fonts, alongside stories about Madonna vs. Cyndi Lauper.

I get it. These bright, obnoxious colors are one way to grab consumers' attention at the checkout line. And magazines like Star have never boasted a classy, clean design, so why start now... but I expect better from mags like People.
