Don't put crap on my cellphone, please

Okay, I must confess: I love modern design. The baroque-modern fusion makes my heart flutter because it's monochrome, but actual baroque is too much for me. I like clean lines, polished surfaces, and limited color palettes. Not even mid-century; I love modern modern.

I hold all design styles to this yardstick, though; I like modern because most of it is mindful of people actually using it, and often pairs with accessible/universal design. The modern that runs away with itself -- like, say, a floating staircase with no rail that would kill anyone who tried to use it -- just annoys the crap out of me.
