Also, we need consider design as not something that needs to be trendy or has a finite time. A lot of design choices made in early 90’s are totally sound - technology has changed ofcourse so we should adapt but the way things are today - it’s chasing trends after trends without giving any thought. Design is not fashion. Changes should be made only when they’re needed, not because designers like a particular aesthetic or want to make things flat, or remove borders because it’s sexy, or go after magenta/purple themes today that are rampant cliches.

I have a hard time finding a good textbook in this area. Why aren’t there any textbooks one may ask?
