There's nothing quite like discussing the horrific implications of global thermonuclear war by having such a scenario set entirely in globohomo animation.

Hard disagree. Their style is certainly unusual, but the proportions are consistent and the designs are clear and simple. It's pretty much the opposite of corporate Memphis.

That's pretty much Corporate Memphis when it's done with consistency. Kurzgesagt is an obvious globohomo propaganda channel tailor made for Redditors, anyway.

I've wanted to post this all day, but had no idea where. This thread seems good enough.

Burger King's answer should be the following:
>Ru Paul sitting at McDonalds, eating a Big Mac.
>The King approaches him in the aisle.
>Ru Paul looks up, and the King shoots him in the head.
>The family across the aisle stares in shock, while the King looks into the camera.
>The family begins to cheer.
>"Burger King: Have it your way."

What is this even. What is the possible motive for putting this here. What am I even looking at.

I am fully convinced at this point this "art style" (corporate memphis, Neubrutalism, GrubHub people, et al) is the reflection of a metaphysical and sinister force that is gnawing it's way at the collective human unconscious. It's teeth are sunken in to the fabric of beauty, aestheticism, and objectivity; tearing it apart until there is nothing that remains. It's the final stage of postmodernism. There is something so viscerally disturbing about it that can't be expressed with words alone.

This art style is the antithesis to the fundamentals of design and the nature of communication itself. Since the inception of man we have used art to tell stories and convey ideas. Language and art for that matter are interchangeable. They are both a set of symbols used for communication. Corporate memphis and similar design trends have sought to devolve art to such a state it no longer has any meaning. At it's best it is visual noise, something undecipherable or meaningless, and at it's worse it is a direct assault to the senses and the very purpose of artistic expression.

I'm not a philosopher, but isn't the underlying cause postmodernism?

Do you mean that this alegria style encapsulates corporate bullshit but in visual form? It's the visual representation of a meaningless slogan such as "taking your project to the next level" or some shit

That picture is the definition of corporate bullshit. Soylent magically flowing out of the bottle and into this guy of unidentified race's mouth. Also the flat colors that look like actual shit. It is something a underpaid office worker would put together just to get thru his shift.

This is where we are at now in design. Not only is the design horrible the website is broken. It takes me about 15 seconds of scrolling down to go down to each section to read each part of the site.

Holy shit it's real, even the broken scrolling. The site barely moves when I flick the scroll wheel down. This is what you get when you focus on "diversity hires" instead of making a functional product.
