I gotta jump in here and say David Carson is not "anti-design," and the Meire dude's 32c design is way more awesome than Carson ever was because unlike Carson, Miere is actually a designer and knows what hes doing. David Carson just ripped off other people's ideas (who actually had "serious" reasons for their design being that way) and managed to get famous at it.
Anyways, Carson was just a ripper of postmodernism in design, not defaultness and other things that make stuff "anti-design." HIs shit was hectic and illegible, which could be true of "anti-design," but it doesn't hold the same ideals that "anti-design" does. Anti-design is more of using "folk" type stuff in design, the exceedingly everyday stuff that dads use in microsoft word and things like that.
"Anti-design" is also always going to hold value because theres always going to be something to oppose what "real" designers call design. Its not a trend or an "edgy" (worst, least descriptive word ever, btw) thing, unless dudes really think the whole modernist utopia is actually going to happen...
- If it's not a trend - does that mean that anti-design has always existed as a concept?********
- as long as the concept of design has existed, yesfresnobob
- I don't think that stops anti-design from emerging as a trend.********
