Question about Contemporary Design.
Is this actually GOOD design or is it just a fad?
I mean its okay, everyone does it, it seems to be the quality-standard, people like it because it looks hip and young, but I think it kinda lacks soul in the sense its sterile, its the same throughout/everyone is on the bandwagon doing pretty much the same.
I have the feeling when people look back on it in a decade or two they will think about some stereotype(some person in a loft sitting at an apple computer wearing big rimmed glasses, atleast thats the picture I get) and say to themselfs "Oh, this again, its the same as the countless other designs, but back in the day everyone was all about it and we thought it looked great"
Which gets me conflicted because I dont want to be one of the countless meme-designers in the future but people at the moment really like that shit.

And I didnt particularly meant that picture(before someone rambles about the picture in my opening post) but the state of todays design in general.

You need to be more specific because contemporary design has existed about as long as design has, like since Bauhaus.

Its hard to define it since you cant just put it into neat categories and its probably "too soon"
In two decades or more it will be just called something or just "typical 2010design" and everyone gets it. When I say 50s or 60s design everyone knows what I am talking about.

well regardless, you should grow with the industry and respond accordingly.

there is no doubt that it represents the archetypal motivation of mid-level first world society. efficiency, succinctness, results-oriented. every era of design seems to reflect the goals of society. in the budding digital age it was all about the endless possibility of computers and tech. outside of the broader classification being the information age, this could definitely be called the green age
if you think you can identify another appealing archetype for the same demographics that complies with your style, you will likely be able to find the line between realist and idealist
