Controversial take: brutalist digital is brilliant.
While everyone's doing the same clean lines and rounded corners, brutalism just goes for it with raw, in-your-face design. It doesn't try to be user-friendly in the boring way. Of course, brutalist sites can be genuinely hard to navigate, but that's the point. These aren't corporate sites trying to convert users; they're creative experiments that treat the web like an art gallery instead of a shopping centre. Definitely a love or hate situation so I would love to hear your thoughts! Example is: https://takeawalkonthewildside.rietveldacademie.nl/page/intro
