i think the only reason this boring shit appeals to anyone at all is because there's literally nothing negative you can say about it because IT HAS NO FUCKING FEATURES.
same reason why designers wear black (can't fuck up a black outfit!) hate hipsters (can't mock a guy wearing khakis!) and like helvetica (can't hate a font with no character!)
it's all just so... safe.
- don't you wear black? are you admitting that your attire is "safe" and lacks character?Mr_Know
- also swiss design and helvetica have plenty of features: grid structure and careful proportions for exampleMr_Know
- you're defining features as needless ornamentation which is the opposite of the intent, and frankly misses the pointMr_Know
- i often wear "safe" clothing because i don't feel like thinking about it. which is what i see happening in many cases of so-called "swiss design"scarabin
- "minimalist" design. it's all formulae that basically remove most of the decisions a designer makes with a piecescarabin
- –removing its character and humanityscarabin
- you're also lumping "non-minimalist" with "useless ornamentation". how about some concept?scarabin
- so now you're equating aesthetics with concept?Mr_Know
- well... the swiss stuff is okay in a midcentury, middle european middle-everything context...vaxorcist
