Actually, I doubt it's just you.
Back when I worked in the film industry I recall more than one meeting with so-called directors and their attendant hordes of faceless production execs who shared a single well-worn brain cell between them. They would study our designs for Creatures and costumes (Fifi mostly did costume stuff) and they would ask the most dribblingly moronic questions available, debate the cost of realizing the designs for weeks at a time and then spend one atosecond considering the actual LOOK of the designs before rejecting anything interesting or novel. Then they selected the design they were going actually put on screen by a method very little removed from closing their eyes and poking the tabletop with a stick.
Except one weirdo who, after many meetings and paper shufflings, would invariably just choose whichever design had the most stains from the undersides of teacups on it.
Don't imagine artistic integrity tempered slightly by fabrication costs has anything to do with film design.
I've seen those tokers chortling at designs before falling off their seats with improbable velocity. (I believe in that instance the design was chosen on the basis of how quickly it dislodged the derelict junkie so-called production team from their seats).
(Oh, and yes, very nice designs (whatever they were for). Elegant and semi-simple and I even like the colour scheme. Robes; who's good at robes around here?)
