floguo · x · 2026-08-16
Designer covacut releases a film 'The Year of Micro Design', highlighting 'micro design' as the design trend of the decade: tiny, honest design. Examples include F1 bread tag merch, tech logos designed like care labels, albums as receipts, stamp UI trend, and TikTok guest-check poster trend. When a generation is overwhelmed with polish and slop, they crave designs that never meant to deceive. The film explores why the future of design might look strangely ordinary.
