What I mean is, if you look at all these shiny graphics in links and videos and printed material designed to catch your eye, what does it all say to you?
For me, I don't get any message. I just digest it faster and faster with my eyes, clicking through links and flipping through magazines until I woke up this morning and screamed shut the fuck up, and went for a walk in the park instead.
Graphic design these days just looks like a big colorful swirling toilet.

I started to read what you wrote, but there were too many words so I gave up.

I really have no clue as to what you are talking about. Maybe it's because "these days" have always been here, right now, to me.

I know exactly what you mean. Everything is so cliche to me, and I've gotten to the point where random is boring. I'm not a graphic designer or anything, but things that I get artistic fuel or inspiration from like music or random design shit on the internet sometimes just seem to all be the same, equally worthless, and I'm only 17 years old. A walk in the park is a good refreshment though. For me it's either a very long bike ride or a day where I make a point of not listening to music for enjoyment just so I can remember what I've been missing.
- But at 17 years old, everything is worthless or the most important thing ever, ever ever.ian

What I mean is, everythign is really nice and pretty and swirly like a colorful toilet, BUT there never is any message that sticks out or stays with me, and I just consume it faster each day without feeling intellectually full, or having learned anything or gained any perspective.

Firstly, what are you actually complaining about? Is is magazines, advertising, websites? Are you actually looking at anything of any substance or just throwaway pop culture stuff? Cos you may just need to change your visual diet, if you know what I mean.

I mean everything. Nothing penetrates with any meaning.

never in human history have the organs of perception been subjected to such a massive tide of visual stimuli... some of it is "good", but many of us have reached the point where there is so much of it that we just feel battered
