A couple of thoughts.
Why the hell is everything so tacky and dated? Stumbleupon will be the death of me, but I'm finding a lot of photos from the 80s - whether family portraits (awesome hair, guys), or just old ads, typography, art, print - and holy shit, it's godawful. The thing is, what stayed minimal, doesn't suck. So why are we still doing this? Ten years ago, we started flooding everything with vector graphics, and now, they've become the new lens flare. Remember when people liked lens flares? Me either. Less is more. And what the hell is wrong with "minimalist typography" of late? Don't fucking ruin Helvetica for me, guys. It's a nice font... But if that's the sum of your design, I'm going to start punching people in the throat.
Frank Lloyd Wright sucks.
More on that later.
* take that as you will.
