Abstract:
“We need an anti-design movement. There has always been a distinction between Industrial Designers, Fashion Designers, Graphic Designers, Interior Designers, and more. Yet today, the title of ‘designer’ has seemed to impregnate itself into every industry without any thought process or delineation. As graphic design trends happened, graphic designers followed. As the executions of these trends became more popular, more of them appeared. As generative AI became popular, it compounded it all, and the world of efficiency and greed entered our sacred space. When we make something beautiful, and it’s apart from what the world around us is even possible of creating, we’ve made something to smell, touch, and feel deep within our souls. We’ve also made a choice to go alone. We’ll have to fight harder and constantly explain our rationale to a world that only wants to be the same. We’ll disagree with almost everyone, only allowing a select few to be a part of our microscopic world as we fight for our destinies as long-lost graphic designers: human beings who care about human connections, thought, and the ability to inspire someone else through our own unique voice.” –Abstract
