Cornell hasn't missed a shot yet. Nice layout, and a clever twist.
It's a confident play, that's for sure. Helvetica, grid-based layout, and information design - this is Inman's home turf. Yet with the color, the sheep, and the circles, it's clearly derived from the previous shot. I think Cornell is caricaturing Inman's design aesthetic here - Cornell isn't just referencing the previous volleys, but also Inman's style as a designer.
But sending the ball back to Inman like this might be playing right into his strength. You throw a fastball high and inside, you better bring the heat.
Also, am I the only one futilely attempting to read the text of the marginalia in the columns on the right?
