Blargy.com on ugly design

Posted November 21 in Design.

Just read this over at Blargy.com:

“Ugly design” is making its rounds amongst the pundits, but I for one don’t buy it. We humans like beauty. We like aesthetics. We buy fancy cars (or hope to), date attractive people (or hope to), buy nice houses and listen to nice music. Ugly design may be a trend right now, if for no other reason than it’s different. But it’s not gonna last much longer, and when the trend is over people will go back to liking professionalism and beauty. Not that they ever stopped.

I was going to write a post about aesthetics and the apparent “ugly design trend” (which I don’t even think exists), but Charlie basically said everything I was going to say. Well put Charlie, well put.

    Well, I’ve seen people design ugly websites on purpose to mock a trend, but I had to actually go and Google “ugly design”. I think, whatever I might have said about it, Charlie pretty much hit the nail on the head.
