It's quirky, even Google and most other large corporations use this type of art style because it's clean. But I have noticed a lot of hate for it, can someone pinpoint it for me? It's different, which is why I like it. Makes it stand out and kind of lets me have a nostalgia effect so to speak...it's hard to explain. Do you mind it?
>>7769507Example 2
>>7769507it's ugly, boring, soulless and 'safe'.
>>7769509Boring? Even with all the quirky body part shapes and designs? The new Netflix show long story short uses this animation style and a lot of people love it. Idk, different strokes for different folks but I find it lively.
>>7769507>even Google and most other large corporations use this type of art style>It's different, which is why I like it.That's a bit contradictory, but you've also stated the reason. People hate the overused, overly happy and simplistic style, because they associate it with corporate dickery because of said overuse. If it weren't so overused by corporations, it'd probably not be so loathed.There's the fact that's it just appears kind of cheap. It looks like art made by people who can't draw - and that's likely the case. It's almost certainly a style of art made by graphics designers, rather than illustrators, who are being asked to also make the art for said large corporations - who are evidently too cheap to hire an illustrator.Anyway, it's known as "corporate memphis", or more derogatorily as "globo homo"
>>7769507It's anti-realist and anti-humanist. It's propaganda for a perfect corpo utopia of faceless interchangeable workers.
>most large corporations use itthere's your answer
>>7769532the shapes and colors also make it hard to attack the corporation for representing some minority of a minority of a minority wrong by accident (while not being blamed for underrepresenting anyone). And it's not just done to defend themselves - they are part of this bubble, they love those identity-bereft shapeless creatures
>>7769507Particular style you posted is ubiquitous which means contrarians get self-affirmation from hating it. It's also associated with liberal artists, for chuds that makes it bad by default.
>>7769507It's ugly from every point of view.
>>7769507>It's differentno, its exactly the same, thats why its shit
>>7769507It's the globohomo artstyle designed to deliberately subvert and destroy instinctual standards of beauty.

>>7769507Because this doesn't give you any information about what's going on. Is this supposed to reflect Football? Hockey? What "magic" are you referring to?>>7769508There's no context for these characters existing whatsoever, I don't understand what the "use case" would be for drawing these "people">>7769551If you just took this image what would you assume is going on?The problem with this art style is that it requires you to distill it down to being vague enough to encompass the "diversity" spectrum but in doing so it fails to actually convey any message or intent unless you're actually at an office or on some website where it's smack dab in front of you with the message provided (which ironically renders the art pointless as well making it's entire existence a paradox)
because it's casting the widest net possible.It is not targeted to anyone or any goal in particuliar, and so, doesn't take any risk, having any edges sanded off to become just a round safe thing, there's no meaning,nothing more than visual muzak
>>7769508I can tolerate the art style in my phone apps because it's designed to be generic, inoffensive and forgettable, but when a legit brown person appears I just uninstall. I don't care how useful the app is.I'm just so tired of niggers, I would pay a monthly fee to never ever see one. I just want them gone. I don't understand why they want to keep showing them to me, it only makes me want to loathe them more. I do not get habituated I just start hating them. Please no niggers. Make them blue or yellow
>>7769507Half similar bits as >>7772025It's obviously not saying anything important. It reads like someone desperate to be liked, like the kind of behavior you see in those who brownnose two different people within an hour of each other by behaving in radically different ways or promising contradictory things to them.It's the same sort of "please everyone so you can benefit" strategy that psychopaths employ. Normies are often detached and mentally busy, and so they don't take the 5 seconds of thought while on a grocery line or something to recognize patterns. In fact, they're actively discouraged from doing so because acknowledging that the person who was glazing you earlier is only doing so because they want something of yours rips away their feeling of status they get from it. Some even embrace it if the topic is pressed, like in a:>Of course [brand] just wants my money, but I don't care if paying for it makes me feel superior.>No shit Dave is just buttering me up because he wants me to work on his car for free, but I like the feeling of having someone who treats me like I'm important.Additionally, it is less likely to expressly offend the bulk of people. If your messaging is too targeted, it means others will reject it. If you use goth aesthetics then people who think the expansion of halloween beyond the week or two before the 31st will find it tacky. If you go full on florals and pastels you'll get people who negatively associate that with either little girls or 50+ women rejecting it.This kind of thing is safe. It says very little that could alienate some, while also trying to "include" everyone by providing as broad an opportunity to self-insert as possible. But for me, it reads like a brand so desperately trying to hide how fucked they are by projecting a facade of >Nothing to hide here! Just all flat colors with no depth. Do not try to look beyond the surface :)
