As design is creation <em>per se<\/em>, it is naturally <strong>loaded with a lot of dissent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The questions have always been there: how to provide the best solution, what are the rules, are rules needed at all, along with many other debates and uncertainties. As this post is nothing more than an investigation about the final days of web design as we know it now, we will focus only on the conflict that has had the most impact on our field.<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>conflict in design<\/strong> \u2013 and generally in art \u2013 began when mass production became widely available, around the beginning of the 20th century. Since then creators have been trying to comprehend <strong>how they can the best serve human needs<\/strong> while still coming up with <strong>creative and unique solutions<\/strong> that fill the void not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.philamuseum.org\/exhibitions\/272.html?page=2\">Art Deco and Bauhaus<\/a> \u2013 the handcrafted for the few and the functional for the masses \u2013 in the early 20th century excellently represents the nature of this conflict.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/the-day-web-design-gets-boring\/bauhaus.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Bauhaus\" width=\"700\" height=\"547\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/the-day-web-design-gets-boring\/artdeco.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Art Deco\" width=\"700\" height=\"474\"><\/figure>\n<p>Both <strong>produced elegant solutions<\/strong> on their own way <strong>without invalidating the existence of the other<\/strong>. Something similar happens these days in web design.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ever-Expanding Online Universe<\/h2>\n<p>When the World Wide Web was created it was hard to figure out how it would finally look like, just like we are right now struggling with finding the magical date when web design will turn insufferably boring.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more and more sure though that the web formed a virtual world parallel to the physical one, that needs to be populated with virtual objects that we know as applications and websites.<\/p>\n<p>The number of things from the physical world that get a representation in the virtual one is growing every day: we <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/buy-geeky-gifts-websites\/\" rel=\"noopener\">buy cool stuff from e-shops<\/a>, our personalities are represented online, and fabulous solutions for our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/?q=the+answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything\">burning problems<\/a> are also stored on the web. But not just that.<\/p>\n<p>The rapidly emerging hardware technology also expands our opportunities both as users and creators, just think about the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/fitness-wearables-you-can-buy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">rise of wearables<\/a> and other <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/smart-gadgets\/\" rel=\"noopener\">smart devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Gray Side of The Early Web<\/h2>\n<p>A more complex online world naturally requires <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/web-design-to-experience-design\/\" rel=\"noopener\">more solutions<\/a> and a wider approach than a simpler one that was mainly about creativity and fun.
