Apollonian, of, relating to, or resembling the god Apollo. Friedrich Nietzsche used the term in his book The Birth of Tragedy to describe one of the two opposing tendencies or elements in Greek tragedy. According to Nietzsche, the Apollonian attributes are reason, culture, harmony, and restraint. These are opposed to the Dionysian characteristics of excess, irrationality, lack of discipline, and unbridled passion.

Go big or go home, so the saying goes, and that’s certainly the maxim that applies to maximalist design. So forget what you know about modernism and minimalism. Ignore functionality and rationality. Leave white space at the door, and kiss Helvetica goodbye. When it comes to maximalist design, it’s all about decadence, excess, and extravagance, so be courageous with color, play with pattern, and create mesmerizing motifs.
