Is it true that people get a design style through psychological motivations?
it seems my life is too chaotic and full of questions and turbulence, hence i tend to create order in the chaos in order to feel justified: meaning i design boring b/w sites, or at least a lot of minimal stuff that quite frankly, will not impress a lot of people as their minds are less occupied and look for impulses and thus expect ornament and crime, to quote Loos.
Please, say something sensible.
Should i stab down my subconcious entity and design for zeitgeist instead of clarity?
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
and wwjd, ofcourse..

Getting paid and getting laid are the only things in the world worth changing your entire philosophy.
And they go hand in hand.
WITH THEIR TONGUES DOWN EACH OTHER'S THROATS!!!
THIS THREAD JUST GOT CHRIST PUNCHED!!!!

Clarification, you do not necessarily have to change your entire philosophy.
Just act like you have, so you fool other people.
DOUBLE CHRIST PUNCH!
- Rand0
my answers were not sincere, because I have nothing relevant to offer
- Teeuwen0
so it is all about fooling people?
should i maek something conceptual and improve my ability to sell a story?

chaos needs to be embraced--this is not to say succumbed to, but understood

try different things. i also think my work is a bit drab,but i am trying to first develop that, then I would like to try other things. i found this story interesting on having a variety of styles in one's portfolio:

I think she brings up some interesting points.
Let me know what you think...
good luck with your disillusionment, it sounds like a healthy motivator, at least better than the a certain R5 unit...
