I kind of like how blatantly ugly it is. But maybe that's nostalgia talking

Ty for the mini lesson! People who can draw/illustrate/design well will never not be impressive to me (wow what an awkward sentence). It would be disheartening as an artist to have to put those skills towards churning out marketing shlop day in day out.

The graphic design industry really is fucking evil. I could tell you so many horror stories from people I know who work in the industry, but doing so would dox the hell out of them.

Also thank you for putting up with my lecturing lmao nerd
