Styles that need an explicit brief

These styles carry a “reads as AI-generated” risk flag. We discuss them when a client asks for one.

Glassmorphism
Repeated translucent panels and blurred gradients can hide real hierarchy and make unrelated products look alike.
Neumorphism
Soft inset shadows repeat a familiar template and can leave editable and pressed states hard to distinguish.
Synthwave
A generic neon sunset, grid and glow can eclipse the product's own evidence and purpose.
Y2K
Unmotivated chrome, pixel stickers and novelty cursors can resemble a preset instead of a product identity.
Cyberpunk
Scanlines, neon HUD panels and fictitious telemetry often decorate a task without helping a person complete it.
Ethereal
Pastel haze and floating glass shapes can obscure actions and produce an interchangeable hero.
