Why does nobody talk about how boring safe design has gotten?
I mean, look at magazine layouts from the 80s compared to now. They used wild fonts and crazy color mixes that grabbed you. Now everything is so clean and spaced out it puts me to sleep. Maybe it's just me, but I think playing it safe kills good ideas. Like, old video game box art had painted scenes that told a story. Today's covers are just a character on a plain background. Idk, where's the fun in that? We need to get brave again and use old stuff for inspo.
