>>39501602I majored in graphics design courses for a year and a half. Solid colors and basic vector shapes is just the aesthetic that's popular right now. It makes sense on mobile phones but I don't know why it's catching on with other mediums. One of my professors used to call it the "Web 2.0 look".
GD has regressed so much that the use of light gradient and drop shadows would be considered edgy right now.
I fucking hate it.
