graphic design: tiny ass fonts and sites that were clearly built to operate on a phone first when they straight up break on desktops asdfghjk. the macro problem is more related to the fact that trendy-first-designers apparently have a phobia called 'usability'; they're the category of folks that tend to design projects to look good for behance/their portfolio/agencies first, and then all the priorities from there run downhill. there's a bit of a, hahah - rivalry between them and what I'd loosely call 'corporate designers' - designers who go for function first and who actually know how to goddamn compromise and work with the system. (some of them do compromise *too* much but it's also heavily relevant on the politics of the company.) it gets trickier when executives love agencies/agency-designers because their works are that much prettier to an untrained eye so there's a lot of outsourcing there, which just leads to this ouroboros of corporate designers fixing their shit > execs not being happy with the finished project > 'hire moar agency designers!' > etc
