“Designing is not a profession but an attitude."
— László Moholy-Nagy

Design is about function and beauty at the same time. Is about subjectivity and rationality. In other words, design is duality. Design lives between ideas, concepts, worlds, and different ways of thinking. design is (can be) a connection. The last one is from László Moholy-Nagy, Hungarian painter, photographer, and former professor in the Bauhaus school.

Make me think

Why we crave software with style over “branding” →
“Within the past few years, tech companies’ digital design all started to look the same: marginally, monotonously quirky; safe. From the sans-serif fonts to the muted pastel color palette, the stark white backgrounds to the curvy shape and hue of the buttons, most modern software blurs together into a familiar, squint-and-you’ll-confuse-it aesthetic. (…)

By appealing to everyone with these clean lines, gradients, and rounded shapes, no one feels particularly compelled by them. And while these brands serve their purpose in attracting the “right” demographic to their software, they also make it difficult to form a meaningful connection with the user — the product feels like a stylistic blank slate.”
