    But what is good design? You can't really define it outside of the time and place you live in.

    There's no eternal unbending rule that says, for instance, you can never stretch type, or that clean modernist typography is the way to go. We think you can't and it is but it's all just cultural programming. Which was different 50 years ago and will be different 50 from now.

    All this "anti-design" thing really is, is the latest movement to flip the middle finger to what's typically considered "good." But that doesn't mean it's easier to produce or somehow takes no talent.
