I'd love to say design is problem solving but often it isn't. It should be. Often it is decorating, polishing or elvolving for the sake of keeping things moving. Again - to sell stuff.
I'd love design to exist without the need for it to generate an income, but then it wouldn't be design in the modern sense of the word. If someone designs a product, it has to sell. If someone typesets a book, it is to make it more appealing/functional so that it may sell more.
Being a designer means using your problem solving skills or however you choose to approach the task and satisfy someone elses brief. You pick up a pay check for this.
I didn't get into design to help sell things, but I wouldn't make a living if it didn't.
