Why All Graphic Design Looks the Same Now

Elliott Earls makes an argument here that stings a little: design didn’t get boring because designers got worse. It got boring because the isolation that used to breed weird regional styles is gone. Local scenes, art schools, music subcultures — they all worked like islands, and distance let strange visual languages grow on their own. Now everyone’s scrolling the same feed, so everything drifts toward the same clean international look. Seven minutes, no fluff, and it’ll probably make you rethink where you pull reference from. Worth a watch if your work has started feeling a little too much like everyone else’s. Video: Studio Practice on YouTube.
