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

They use bubbly buttons that looks like it's designed for kids to make people more retarded, it's specifically designed for more and more retarded people. COUGH COUGH poal.co COUGH COUGH

Round my way there is lot of development. Houses are being razed and apartments and townhouses going up in their place (almost all chinese companies.)

And they're ugly, oh lord are they ugly. Plus they're look so... flimsy. In another 20 years this place will be a slum but I will be long gone from here by then.

Well, China obviously doesn't know shit about sacred geometry.

They know how to turn our garbage into commercial products to sell back to us. That's about it, along with pork-fried rice.

That's all that I've noticed. You can easily spot the areas built over the last 10-15 years as they are cube shaped and boring looking. I worked at a new home builder and they bought their designs and the different divisions (in different states) picked the ones that they felt would sell in their areas. Most interiors were all the same if you took 5 minutes and compared plans. I bet everyone is outsourcing their design to the same place(s).

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?

I have trouble seeing it. I don't have an eye for it, I guess. I usually just have to take other people's word for it when it comes to artsy stuff.

I'm talking about industrial design. Not art.

Not one category to vote for that disagrees with your degeneration hypothesis.

Diversity hires rule.

Examples?

Do you mean you haven't noticed anything weird yet?

Have you seen the new BMW models? Or clothes?

[–] [deleted] 2 pts

I'm pretty disconnected from popular culture. So, no, I actually haven't seen the new BMWs nor clothes.

BTW, my question was not a challenge. I'm genuinely curious what you've observed.

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