I really hate that design or whatever it is
Good ol’ Corporate Memphis
It ensures me that everything is going to be fine. Just use their app! /s
It’s called “alegria” and it’s terrible.
Great relevant video on Alegria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFb7BOI_QFc
A recent article on Corporate Memphis: Why does every advert look the same? Corporate Memphis.
Its popularity is the result of a feedback loop: it’s popular because it’s popular. It also makes people feel safe and comfortable (a form of brain-hacking, if you will).
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind it too much if it wasn’t so overused. Now I immediately feel distrustful the second I see it. It makes me assume that I’m looking at a page made by an advertiser rather than something honest. Product information shouldn’t try to make me feel something, it should tell me why I should and shouldn’t use something.
I’m actually in the same boat with “I wouldn’t mind it too much if it wasn’t so overused.” On an aesthetic level there are things I like about this style, but it’s just so ubiquitous now.
Companies will try to get more money regardless if capitalism is involved, and considering that the cooperate art style is used to attract people this art style would still probably be overused.
What do you think capitalism is?
Isn’t this design used by developers that don’t know how to draw? What this has to do with capitalism?
Nah, they hire artists who actually do know how to draw and then they waste their talent by forcing them to draw in that style
A whole bunch of people who knows nothing about art and design, or even what fashion and design trends are, and then attributes it to the 'lack of innovation in capitalism"
give me a break
If you knew anything about graphic design, you would know that this is very much a trend in design. Any graphic designer worth their salt is designing these kinds of things today because this is what the system pays them for. It is a very specific aesthetic designed to invoke certain feelings of trust in users in order to make them think less about how big tech platforms are exploiting their users, workers, etc.
And secondly, I never said the words “lack of innovation in capitalism,” so you don’t understand how quotes are supposed to work, but also you are putting words in my mouth. The title is about the supposed variety of products, aesthetics, etc. that capitalism is supposed to facilitate, when in reality in encourages convergent evolution in aesthetic and grand trends that are followed by entire industries. Look at cars today, for an example. As the cancer of capitalism advances further and further, automobiles are converging closer and closer to a single aesthetic that companies find makes them the most money. You see this in many industries. Film, music and gaming come to mind, as aesthetics converge to their maximum profit potential. To further illustrate capitalism’s homogenizing effects, think about how different rich socialites are in different countries. Not very different at all, are they?
Thirdly, your immediate defense of people who are fucking you over is just sad.
I mean you are talking to someone who specialize on communication and art/design.
I don’t know why I even bother.
A very thoughtful, informative and well-written reply.
Well, at least I’m not making a fool out of myself.
Go suck your boss’ cock some more.
At least try to appreciate people good work. You are demeaning hardworking people while critizing stuff you don’t understand. They don’t look alike for the reasons you believe. But you don’t probably care about art and the people who work on it.
That’s exactly the opposite of how I’m looking at this. The artists are hard workers, who are being forced to produce this horseshit for their bosses. In capitalism, the people who work get shafted, and those who do nothing are rewarded with the fruits of all human labor.
I am unable to locate the funny
