Why shouldn't design trends/styles be classified based on shared visual characteristics?
>>455782Because it's a money making scheme by grifters.
>>455821>examining trendsTrue, but defining trends involves an element of time that often has little relevance until much, much later when they can be viewed and sorted out from a historical perspective. Even at that point, any timeline you establish may have almost nothing to do with how those trends coalesced into any particular style or aesthetic, and impart little to no valuable information as to how that happened.But what CARI and its followers do is hyper-focused on time frames, often while by their own admission a particular trend is still current. Then they reference other allegedly concise and compartmentalized trends as being related but again it's with so little historical distance and perspective that it's meaningless.>common influencesThis certainly helps to understand how styles develop, but rather than being a timeline or a tree where X movement branches off into later derivatives, the development of artistic styles and movements is more like a thread map where threads connecting more contemporary trends that may have little in common visually lead back to the same ancient influences, while contemporaneous styles/movements may have little connection at all.Case in point- both chair designs in picrel are made by designers commonly associated with Art Nouveau but despite being made during its hetday almost none of the visual elements are anything like the ones used to describe Art Nouveau.But if you consider the overarching influence and gestalt of the Arts and Crafts Movement and Modernism in its original sense and the allegedly separate aesthetics of the various trends spawned by those movements over the course of a half century or more, then it all fits even though those chairs may not look like it.tl; dr: Meaningful categorization of artistic syles is not all about, or even mostly about looks or trends or time periodsComment too long.

>>455844And speaking of A&C and historical context, even now there are widely divergent opinions as to what it was/ is and how it fits into a larger picture->Some consider that it is the root of the Modern Style, a British expression of what later came to be called the Art Nouveau movement. Others consider that it is the incarnation of Art Nouveau in England.>Others consider Art and Crafts to be in opposition to Art Nouveau. Arts and Crafts indeed criticized Art Nouveau for its use of industrial materials such as iron. And as for Art Nouveau artists, the Arts and Crafts utopia was intrinsically contradictory: "the paradoxical confinement of the Arts & Crafts movement in an artisanal practice was completely out of step with the evolution of the status of the artist-decorator, but also with the democratic will of an art 'for the people and by the people' proclaimed by William Morris". For example, while Henry van de Velde understood the social discourse of Arts and Crafts, he was not an unconditional disciple of the movement and ended up turning away from it, considering it as anachronistic and tinged with quixotism.All of which makes CARI's allegedly authoritative micro- categorization of current "aesthetics" as distinct and definable within the space of a handful of years that much more absurd, to the point of self parody.
The fact that they describe Live Laugh Love as "snarky" reveals to me everything I need to know about Cari. The aesthetic is a bit shallow but overall pretty innocent. Seems like Cari is seething at normies literally just being happy (and drinking some wine).

Is going to college (either for a degree or a certificate in design) a waste of money when things like skillshare and udemy exist?I've been fucking with photoshop for well over a decade but only got seriously in to design recently, and I'm enrolled for a certificate but I can't shake the feeling that I'm spending several grand on an education I could match for several hundred dollars so long as I put the effort in.
>>454749you know what you will never get on youtube?the experience of being in roomfuls of art, often really good art, on a daily basis

>>454744College was awful. When I think about all the time and money I spent there for a useless degree I wanna puke. Some of the people weren't so bad and hanging out gaming, but that was it really.

What is this æsthetic called
>>455663im guessing that was popular not only because it could be made but it looked like parts of eastern california? Lots of desert with a blue sky? films would capture this too, right?
>>455674Yes, the southwestern US in general and also the area of Mexico below it...you can do the same effect with just a dark/ black silhouette for the land part and little or no blue for the sky, but that blue and sand look (sunset orange too sometimes) was often related to SW outdoor sports and activities, off roading, going to Baja, surfing, etc., mixed with that late century high tech "metal" vibe.
Nice article discussing 80's airbrush trends, with OPs image shown alogside other less desert-y versions of the chrome/metallic trick...the Tron one is interesting because it literally flips the colors and isn't specifically trying to emulate a reflection of the surroundings but still "reads" as similar to the ones that dohttps://www.coolandcollected.com/airbrush-art-of-the-80s-was-chrome-tastic/Also note the comments about airbrushed T shirts...those were a big beach/ boardwalk thing so the "desert" sand/sky color scheme worked there too
>>455679Probably the biggest catalyst for airbrush artists of that era developing that hyper-realistic chrome look that would later be applied to everything was 1970s drag racing when they began painting details to mimic the stock trim, grilles, headlights and other chrome parts on funny cars.Good explanation of the technique here, from one of the pioneers https://www.nhra.com/news/2017/let-there-be-lights

>>445313Seems to me that graphic design is less "art" more "commercially applied art".So it's not like it's a meaningful change to lose such a job
>>440016They dont understand that the degree to which they are useful is the degree to which they are given access to life and tools to live said life. Once they have no intrinsic use they will be vacuumed up to clear up valuable space.
>>455971id kinda disagree, quibbling on what "commercial" meanshowever, Applied Art? yeah that de facto is the case. BUTif a really good ceramic artist makes a beautiful cup and you use it as a cup, is it suddenly appiled art and not just art?same could be said of graphic art.text on a page...text beautiflully on a page...Art of Limited Scope - but beauty is still beauty
>>455973>if a really good ceramic artist makes a beautiful cup and you use it as a cup, is it suddenly appiled art and not just art?Most people who really care a lot about defining "art" and have a vested interest in promoting the narrowest interpretation of the term because they are alleged "experts" would just say that there's no such thing as a "really good ceramic artist" or any ceramic artists at all because ceramics is a *craft*.Then if you point out the fact that the ceramics in question have aesthetic qualities that are about beauty rather than practical considerations of construction or use, they will say that no matter how beautiful or inspiring or provocative it is, it's still just *decoration*.If you really try to nail any definitive distinctions down you'll get all manner of self contradictory babble about ethereal qualities that only the high priest gatekeepers can detect, and smug disdain for suggesting that those "experts" need to explain themselves to lowly peons.
>>455971>Seems to me that graphic design is less "art" more "commercially applied art".Yes like 99% of art in the history of the world idiot?
Alan Denney's work for numerous major studios including Hallmark helped revolutionize the greeting card industry in the latter half of the 20th century and his seemingly sloppy hand lettering style was/is a huge influence on typefaces used to convey humor...it's like the Helvetica of "wacky"

Last april, i went to magadan in the far east. people were still driving old cars, and the cans around them had a gradient design with cyrillic letters. I wanted to live here. but soon i had to return to my home in south korea. in there, tradition has been killed. my feeling at the time is that i want to send some mail with the charger to airport, university.Flat design ruined my life, and annoying me until death. flat design based on pragmatism and materialism.everyone loves the old skeuomorphism, but it's crazy that flat design still exists today.
>>452375>everyone loves the old skeuomorphismI don't. But I remember when it was a new thing and flat design was what I was used to.
>>454764Flat design was prevalent in the mid 20th century during one of the biggest economic and cultural booms of all time.

There's a bit under 500 banners. A few were even deleted! I'm currently in the midst of rewriting a tool. If it's done and this thread is still around, I'll share it with you guys so you can see EVERY. BANNER.

How do you make really good architecture posters for your projects?What are good ressources to look up for this? And how to learn it?What are the basic and golden rules for architectural poster design and graphic design in general?Also how to do post production on your renderings? And how to make good renderings?Picrel is what google showed me when typing in architectural posters, kek.
there arent really arch 'posters' - thats not really a thing. of course everything being more or less digital, there are drawings, print outs, presentations, or boards.a list of basic modelling sofware would be hard to find. same as rendering. go lurk the archinect forum.also go dig up some classic mgazines, like el croquis. look up architects.and just so you know the full oeuvre complete of Le Corbusier is available at Internet Archive
