People have been asking the question - "How Do I Stand-Out in Web Design When AI Makes Everything Look the Same?" (HDISOWDWAMELS for short.) Good question. Quite simply, the easiest way is to be aware of what other people are doing, then do something else. It sounds simple in theory but awareness is actually a lot of work in itself. For me, I have a few pet peeves in response to recent design practices: • I *hate* rounded corners, which is overdone in basically every major app right now. It makes everything look like idiocracy and I feel like it's insulting the intelligence of the users out there. • I get that dark mode is cool right now but I'm getting tired of looking at it all day. There are other ways to stare into the abyss if you must.
