Design

Liquid Glass isn’t »design«, it’s »styling«.

Neither is better, they are different disciplines.

I design icons with the focus on metaphor and recognizability, in any style. Porsche lead design Michael Mauer explicitly calls his work »styling«. He packages the Porsche archetype. https://t.co/19ZAICddco

Apple designer Alan Dye comes from packaging. This and the well-established Apple devices may explain his focus on »styling« instead of re-designing them.

I think styling is just one part of the overall design. (Aesthetics)
For me design is not just aesthetics, but function, usability, etc. 
But you know that ;-)

similar to people arguing over music genres vs the music itself
