Simplicity doesn't mean crappy


I came across this beautiful bronze 1 anna coin today. Dated 1944, Designed by the British.
Contrast this to the crappy looking 1 rupee coin in my pocket. Dated 2008, Designed by famed design school NID, I'm told. Granted, the design of those days was far more decorative and thus tend to appear more aesthetic when compared to modern coins which are more functional. But modern doesn't necessarily have to mean soulless, as this new 5 Euro coin shows us.

NID is a project to brainwash kids. their lecturers are worthless. who have they produced? anybody who's made it from NID has done so despite NID not because of it.
