Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
My view on the issue has been that there is some science to visual design, but I just prefer to study a lot of other subjects in depth instead of those. Some of it is definitely intuition. I think the advent of Bootstrap has made inspiration a lot harder to find because so many sites look identical now and even those who change up things a little still follow the same design patterns and build the same conceptual layouts.
I think design systems are a wonderful thing and it is important to convey a consistent visual experience aligned with your brand, but at the same time I worry that they encourage a herd mentality towards design and it becomes very difficult to imagine innovative designs, especially when if you are forced to align it with the rest of your company's design system.
