History Main / DesignStudentsOrgasm

If one of your friends or loved ones is a design student and suffers inappropriately timed orgasms, just keep a sample of something printed in Comic Sans handy to show them. [[BlatantLies Designers love this typeface]], and it has [[SingleIssueWonk a]] [[{{Troll}} calmative]] [[BerserkButton effect]].

* The above Coke commercial http://www.flickr.com/photos/coca-cola_art_gallery and several others in their most recent campaign]] are, as [[{{Tropers/Coriander}} one troper]] described it (and naming the trope) "Kind of like a first year design student's orgasm."

It's easier to show than describe, hence the picture. Overwhelmingly, these designs are made with vector graphics, to create solid areas of color and crisp, geometrically neat outlines. Usually involves vivid color over a monochrome background, [[WhiteVoidRoom usually white]], but any other primary color will do in a pinch, or vice versa, as in the iPod [[HomogenousMultinationalAdCampaign advertisements]].

* DJ Hero and it's sequel incorporate this, more specifically the intro/title and loading screens.

* The above Coke commercial and several others in their most recent campaign are, as [[{{Tropers/Coriander}} one troper]] described it (and naming the trope) "Kind of like a first year design student's orgasm."

* ''TheThiefAndTheCobbler:'' Everything is extremely stylized to the point of being super weird. Lots of AmazingTechnicolorPopulation, UnmovingPlaid and DerangedAnimation.

** ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', hands down. In fact, anything done by {{Studio SHAFT}} will feature this trope in spades.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srw1DbPWmf4&feature=related first opening]] to ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' definitely has this going on.

* ''CasinoRoyale'''s opening credits had a love affair with this trope, with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg5lI6NCBxE playing card theme]]. And it [[TropesAreNotBad ''rocked'']].

* The opening credits to MonstersInc

It is somewhat akin to a visual form of PurpleProse. The flowery elements of the more ornate ads often have nothing to do with the product itself, and [[WhatWereTheySellingAgain don't always get the message across too well.]] But hey, if that's what the companies are signing-off on...

* If ''{{Persona 3}}'''s opening doesn't count, ''nothing does.''
** [[{{Persona3}} Most]] [[{{Persona4}} modern]] Persona games [[VideoGame/{{Persona}} and their remakes]] follow this with their openings. (''Especially'' Persona 1 and Persona 3 Portable.) The animators of the [[{{Persona2}} Innocent Sin]] Remake just took this trope UpToEleven right [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D07mro7NOkA here]].

* Everything made by Apple and Microsoft these days. [[AsceticAesthetic Except when]] [[EverythingInAnIpodInTheFuture it's not]].

** ''{{Bakemonogatari}}'', hands down. In fact, anything done by {{Studio SHAFT}} will feature this trope in spades.

* Was used on the cover of some of OneHundredBullets in its last year. Issue #92 for instance.
