donotdestroy.com has an art and design style that feels raw, experimental, and conceptually driven. It embraces a mix of digital and physical mediums, often incorporating elements of glitch aesthetics, bold typography, and abstract compositions. The works tend to challenge traditional design norms, sometimes featuring chaotic layering, deconstructed visuals, and unconventional color palettes. There’s a strong sense of rebellion against overly polished commercial design, leaning more toward an underground, almost DIY ethos. It aligns with avant-garde and contemporary art movements, where the focus is on provoking thought rather than adhering to mainstream aesthetics.
It’s a little disappointing to see that brands, as well as art and design communities, haven’t shown more recognition or support for the earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand.

“Well, it’s the creative process – research and inspiration. Development of ideas. Refinement and craft. You have to dig deep into the problem at the beginning and find that wee gem of an idea to springboard into something big. A truth you can then develop and craft into something beautiful. Feed your eyes and your senses and creative things start to happen.” — Chloe Templeman
