Do you have tips on how to get better at design, now that everything looks like the same AI-slop online?
Like how do you come up with a cohesive looking set of components for example?
I use design tokens but they are not enough to get to a coherent design where components look like they belong together and kind of stand out from other designs.
- coldtea 3mo ago>now that everything looks like the same AI-slop online Designers have managed to make everything look the same pre-AI too, like the shitty "flat design" era.
- bediger4000 3mo agoFlat design is still pervasive, and has horrible ergonomics. If I'm supposed to click on something, make it look that way, OK? Also, a tiny, grey chevron on the far right of some text is not adequate for marking a pull-down list. Who thought any of "flat design" was a good idea, and did they have to black mail all the human factors people to get it in production? All that to say, I emphatically agree. Lemmings following a trend is not a good way to distinguish anything or any one.
- memjay 3mo agoDo you have a good example of a website that does not follow flat design that you like?
- memjay 3mo agoAgree. Systems like shadcn accelerated this moving towards sameness a lot.
