006 Brutalism in Web Design: Bold Aesthetic or Just Bad UX?
Digital Design explores the rise of brutalist web design and whether it works for modern businesses.
Web Brutalism. It’s ugly on purpose. Think raw concrete, clashing colours, and fonts that look like a typewriter exploded. It’s the punk rock of web design - a rebellion against everything looking like a friendly, rounded app.
Does it work? If you’re a trendy fashion brand or an art gallery? Yes, it makes you look edgy and authentic. If you’re a funeral director? Probably not. It creates a memorable experience, sure, but sometimes that memory is 'my eyes hurt.' Use with extreme caution. There is a fine line between 'bold artistic statement' and 'I forgot to upload the CSS file'.
