The basic elements of design include color, line, shape, scale, space, texture and value. In a few words, any successfully designed object must be ergonomic, proportional and functional. I am noticing that designers are deliberately degenerating design by not following these simple rules anymore. Are you paying attention to how design is degenerating?

I am aware of degeneration
I am too busy to pay attention
I don't really care about design

It's a pet peeve of mine. Whenever I buy an appliance, I study it to see where the industrial designer made mistakes, and how they could have been corrected. I should have been an industrial designer.

Do you get a jewish feeling of joy thinking about ways to cut corners, design products to have failures, and generally find ways to screw your hypothetical consumer?
