Local storefronts all copying the same boring design style
Walking around downtown lately, I can't help but notice how every new storefront has the same sleek, forgettable look. It's all these thin, white fonts on dark backgrounds or the other way around, with no real art to it. I remember finding cool ideas from old vinyl shop windows or bakery signs with fun illustrations. Now, it's like someone made a rule that design has to be safe and plain. When I hunt for inspiration online, it's just more of the same slick stuff flooding my feed. Even the posters for local events have lost their hand-drawn charm. It makes pulling fresh ideas for my own work a real chore. Honestly, it's sucking the life out of what used to be a vibrant visual scene.
