High-Gloss Design Countermovement Anyone?
Since I don’t know when the *thing* for especially web design has been glossy plastic rendering and reflections, Apple style. Every new site that launches these days, every old site that gets a 2.0 re-hash seems to be draped with plastigloss.
Why has this thing grown into the only thing? Why insist on this sterile plastic metaphor when there are so many other directions to choose from?
Ok well, that’s all fine. The virtual plastic has grown really tiresome by now imho, so I’ve begun waiting for the countermovement. A design movement to oppose and challenge the come il faut glossy shiny reflection plastic, that we have all grown so used to.
- So what’s the next big thing after plastiglosshinyness à la Apple? Please don’t let it be doodles.
Note, that I’m waiting for this movement to happen - I’m not trying to start or drive anything here.
