Hear me out. Maybe graphic design wasn’t the mistake. Maybe it was social media.
First, we got hooked on likes, followers, and engagement. Then came the tiny mics and cameras, and everyone became the host of their own little TV show. Soon, design reels felt the same, tips were regurgitated, and rebrands created in a vacuum filled our feeds. Ink cartridge companies rejoiced.
Somewhere along the way, being seen became more important than being original. Now we’re all creating “content,” making silly faces, and taking this stuff a little too seriously. It’s just graphic design.
Anyways... Cheers to the endless content machine. I hope the algorithm likes the shirt.
