This design looks so cheap to me, it's just a bunch of random covers, there is no information about the movies presented in any way, the covers are way too big and take up an inordinate amount of space and there is nothing breaking up sections, design is just so fucking dumb now, fuck mobile

I'm so here for this.

It's genuinely infuriating to see a hundred years of movie poster art evolution discarded. It's the first part of a movie's artistic statement you ever see, and it gets summarily tossed in the trash so that Netflix's internal overworked engagement metrics team can spend 2 minutes grabbing random shots of different stars in the film, slap single-color generic font text all over it, and target twelve versions to different demographics to try to get more clicks.

It's even worse when I tell this to someone and they're like, "I don't really notice."

Oh my goodness thank you I finally feel vindicated like no one around me ever mentions anything about it, I do need some more friends lol, but yeah as someone who does design and appreciates good design and knows what a hell creatives put ourselves through to go through the process of making something people love and then it all gets reduced to garbage like this

Quite a few have popped up in the thread πŸ˜„

Which of these just have a single colour generic font on them that isn’t literally the movies chosen font?

This isn’t the first time the aesthetic trend of film posters changed but Iβ€˜m sure every time it happened there was someone being grumpy about it.

You know what?! I was!!

Dreamworks knows what they did, homogenizing every single cover.
