Brutalism: The Beauty of Breaking the Rules
Brutalism in web design rejects perfection for authenticity. Stark grids, raw type, and honest structure create interfaces that feel human, intentional, and impossible to ignore. Break the rules, on purpose.
One of those “better in thumb preview than full-screen” designs I think. I didn’t notice the texture in the preview but thought it detracted when I clicked through. I may be wrong.
Still, a lovely design overall.
Yeah, I dunno, I quite like the noise behind the blue.
I agree with Paul, the noise texture feels like an afterthought. It seems like the technique is becoming a bit of a trope, something that people are using without much thought behind it. It’s not that it’s necessarily inappropriate, just that seeing it everywhere starts to get old.
