Such inspired designs are often generic or stuck in the trends trap.
We cant see a design, we are experiencing it. We are just passive obser vers and there isnt much we can do about it because we laack context.
Its just solution to someone elses problem
Every time we look at a design, we are reading the language of design expressed differently. We might understand the vocabulary of single words, but we don't understand the meaning of sentences. an unknown designer

As designers, we tend to get distracted by aesthetics of our creations, and often do not pay enough attention to the other, invisible side of our work. This talk discusses the significance of purpose, substance as well as context in our design decisions. It argues about the value of storytelling, content strategy and thorough editorial work. It also provides practical examples of and insights into the invisible side of design. To recognize invisible design and understand how to create it, we have to look differently at the world around us. We have to open our mind to the idea that design is not only what we see, but also (and most importantly) what we don't see. Design is a constant in this life of ours. It surrounds us and touches us daily. It exists everywhere and it supports and guides us. The stage you are looking at right now has been designed based on certain criteria and aesthetics. You might have looked at colors and placement of things. Things you might not have considered as closely are the size of this stage, the position of the microphone, the lighting and the color of my shirt. Both of these are important parts of your user experience and the design of the stage.

Some things are so well designed that we dont notice them anymore.

Parallax / Nike Better World as the first example and many copycats. I actually asked one of the designers why he used it - and he replied because its trendy and cool. One of the most beautiful examples Ive seen in a while, but t doesnt mean that it performs better than a classic list of links. In fact, we know literally nothing about its usability. We can discuss the atmosphere the design creates, design of body copy, slider, placement of the search box, but the truth is that we have no idea about the core of this design: reasons for every single design element.

[...] the empty dog-kennel was filled up with a great dogdeep mouthed and black-haired like Him, and he was very angry at the sight of me, and sprang out to get at me. [...] Charles Dickens
Eating well is as important as living well. So everything we offer is made from great, fresh-tasting ingredients.
By the way, we will never, ever pass your details on to anyone else, but you knew that anyway, didn't you.
Stories can inspire and illuminate. They can help us empathize with users.

To Conclude
Our work would benefit from a stronger focus on its invisible side.

Good designers can see both the forest and the trees, the visible and invisible halves of design. Francisco Inchauste
We could all benefit from writing and talking about the ways we work, the decisions we make and the solutions we come up with. Thats the core of invisible design.
