This piece nails something I've been struggling to articulate for a while. The inversion of polish and slop is the cultural shift of the decade imo. When I started noticing myself intentionally saving bread clips and ticket stubs rather than tossing them, it felt strange until I realized its basically a response to everything feeling homogenized online. Theunique imperfections become proof of real experience rather than generated content.
I love how well you articulated this trend. I think it comes down to intent and care, where so much of slop is devoid of intentional decisions around the design.
I recently shared a receipt based project, and the most fun and rewarding part was the copy and small design details. I feel without those details, it wouldn't stop people in their tracks. It wouldn't give them a chance to notice me in my work.

my water bottle read CELLO with steel like stickers, it happened twice that the 2L's kept falling off each time I stick it back.
Third time I dint cz I realised it's more 'my bottle' with the 3 letters remaining.
Thank you. I should 3d print some. I've always noticed the stamps at the bottom of brown bag like things and it says who approved it.
i love to see this so much,
an object being unapologetically itself
