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

All you need is to go shopping, or browse the internet. Almost everything is degenerating.

A different "class of people" (shall we say) is doing the designing these days. The commercial design of the 1950s was brilliant. Today it is shit.
