design is life and life is design.
everything is design.
art is an expression.
without design the world would be nothing.
life is elsewhere.
absorb life and let it shine through your work.
yes i get caught up designing corporate mumbo jumbo.
but i also express my self in work at work and in my art at home.

It sounds to me like you have a lot to learn about design, winter.

after 60 reads i'm still confused as to what exactly winter is trying to get across, i mean i see all sides, but in the end, where are we? do you just question the hell out of yourself, what you do, how you think, what you think others think and just ponder on some stone about what design is and how you fit in?
sitting here in the dark in my office thinking of what UI i should design next, i can simply say i'm thinking about what instructions i was given to make it a good UI. follow what worked before, follow what people know and are familiar with.
i still don't get it...what are you trying to say? we are morons because we follow out bosses instructions?
i think in the end we are all shit, everything means nothing, and this is just some fish tank we are all in.

design sucks when everything around you is design by someone.

The important issue is that we as designers, whether or not we wear black clothes and have black framed glasses and complain about our lives ( i think zedvox, you are confusing us with visual artists ), is that we must use design, yes design, to improve our surroundings, to improve the quality of content, to improve and build upon or perhaps destroy the clutter and popular trends you speak of; let's make everything a bit easier to understand, and bit more pleasing to read or more pleasant to handle. Bad design is bad design, but there is still a lot of great design to be seen, used and enjoyed.

Since when is design not designed by someone?

i grow my design on trees of Ecuador.
I fly down there time to time to harvest my pixel perfect layouts, funky new logos, and vector graphics

I am curious as to how many of the people responding on this thread are actually designers.
- MrDinky0

zero my last comment was meant just to bring everyone back to earth...i play the game, i roll with the punches...that's just about what anyone can do...hopefully i'll make friends with some geeky kid who eat algorithms for breakfast and we start "supersearch.com", oh yeah, "now indexing 10 jahmillion pages" =)
oh and for the record...see next post...

And I suppose the plane you fly on to get to your pixel-bearing trees, is a pretty stupid design isn't it?
