    Viking, you're right. I WISH I/we could do what we wanted and I wish that works wasn't just that: WORK.

    Paying bills is one thing, I get it. But we have some messed up things going on.

    Why do we put dye in laundry detergent and come out with an un-dyed version which costs more. Why do we dilute it and then come out with concentrated version of the same thing?

    We do have laundry detergent that cleans clothes and then come out with an additive that makes the laundry detergent clean better?

    Why the hell can't these billion dollar companies come out with a laundry detergent that cleans clothes the best way possible, that is nothing but detergent, no colors or waters or other dilutions. Put that in a bottle made from other bottles for cheap.

    Market that...

    People want that . People would buy that.

    You can make that look cool. You can make it bigger and make it POP.

    But seriously, there is something going on here.

    Can we as designers do anything about this? Can we steer clients? I know we can't change products, but can't we do SOMETHING?

    We are the people.
