Maximalism can be fun, but minimalism wins when it comes to clarity and usability.

This is a really interesting question, Aubrey!

Do we truly prefer one over the other, or do we simply adapt to the idea of liking something as design trends, like so much else, go through cycles? I want to say that I prefer minimalism, but I can’t guarantee that my answer wouldn’t have been different if you'd asked me this question back in the early 2000s.

It really depends on the context and purpose of the design!

However, I prefer minimalism because it creates a clean, focused user experience that emphasizes key elements. I’ll consider maximalism only when it adds character and creativity to a project.
