Neobrutalist 101: Chapter 3 - Subsection 2

Welcome, student, to the most brutalist course you'll ever take! In this chapter, we'll cover the basics of brutalist design principles.

So far, we've learned that the key to brutalism is all about:

  1. Using high-contrast colors to make your design scream "I'm here, listen to me!"
  2. Adding ridiculously large borders to make your design "pop" with an air of sophistication

Now, it's time to learn about the most crucial aspect of brutalist design: Drop shadows! Yes, it's all about adding a little depth to your design, but not too much, because, why overdo it?

You can explore more about chapter 4 where we'll dive into the world of brutalist typography.

Or, if you want to get ahead of the game, jump straight to advanced brutalist techniques.

And, if you're feeling adventurous, take a peek at our experiments page, where we push the limits of what's possible with brutalist design.
