i dont know the correct term for using lots of plus signs or heavy vectorized images or the style used in 65% of the designs on theradless, but my question is, have these styles evolved just recently in the last decade with the vast improvement of vector programs? a lot of the stuff i wouldn't picture being done in trad art, but i could be wrong...
or does it borrow from earlier art forms? im genuinely curious as im just getting into art history, and i recently saw some german design that was done in the 40s and looked like something that could have been made today, really modern looking....i know things go in cycles, so i thought id ask
thanks for the info...and please give me a better term than "trendwhore" ;-)

it's basically because people can do it and programs like Illy and PS make it easy. Art is art, there is no good and bad.

as for the Germans, they were way ahead of their time IMO

snowball effect of technological advances in mainstream culture, environmental influences. Increased exposure to visual media, market forces urging quicker turnover, competition encouraging plagiarism in effect. blah blah.

i see, so its just a clash of influences? but there must be some foundation to vector art no?like is there a genre of art that the structure evolved from?
i mean people made illustrated vector looking thingies before Adobe/Corel and stuff. i know more about music than art, so to put it musically, im asking "ok i've heard white stripes, now tell me the bluesmen that influenced them"

dude you misunderstand me, this is hobby sheit. and you gotta understand the past to understand the future, and i want to appreciate peeps that have contributed, that's all.

it depends. if you look at the past with your back to the future it's wrong. if you look at the future with your back to the past it's good.

thanks Rand, see my ignorant azz would look at some stuff by alex katz and go "oh, thats the cut out effect in adobe photoshop", and while its impressive that someone composed an alogrithm for photoshop to make things look like that stuff, its even more impressive finding out about someone like katz who may have composed stuff like that, never seeing anything like that before.

there are plenty of great artists that just don't happen to publish their stuff on the Internet. you just happen to be overmakerted with all those vectorized sites, etc. my advice would be to go to museums, etc.
