I've noticed a trend growing here in the U.S where advertisements and major tech businesses all use similar art styles, consisting elements of minimalism, unrealistic proportions etc. I'm not sure what caused this to grow in popularity. Perhaps they want relatable...or maybe not so relatable to anyone figures and characters, with exaggerated features, that don't resemble any real life examples. It feels empty to me, lacking humanity or emotions.
I might even go as far as to saying this invokes a sense of dystopia, a feeling of a forced illusion of happiness.
I simply don't see people when these images appear. It feels alien to me.
One that really struck me were these unpleasant Google-Fi adds playing on Youtube. The music of choice, with the monotone, that I believe 'attempts' to mimic what they believe are independent smaller artists, (I think) in hopes of seeming like it understands everyday people, the common citizens, fails miserably to me...
Perhaps they knowingly make these adds so visually depressing to generate feedback, even if it's outrage and disapproval. Regardless, I'm open to others thoughts and ideas on why this is becoming so common, and if there is anyone who finds these appealing for reasons I myself don't understand.
