Think about it like this:
Gutenberg=Bible
Modern Day Designers=AdvertisingIt's a reflection of the day and age we live in. We are doing no different than what Gutenberg and his peers did. Creating literature and material to propagate worship, and face it, we worship material posessions in this day and age. We haven't gotten very far at all.
I blame the Modernists.

Corporations doesnt want to be worth. They are happy with stupid design and money.
But we can make a "Stop War" t-shirt for personal use in helvetica off course

Winter, you have to find what you want in life your own damn self and not blame stagnation on some profession or industry.
My guess is you're feeling your life is petty and you think design is the reason, not yourself.

what design are you looking at winter? you talk as if you have seen it all or something. rather ignorant and insulting.

There is no such thing as stupid design. There are only stupid executions

but we are on the wrong route. we are stupidifying everyone on userfriendly stuff, on easy crap. dont' you see? we are the new people and there is nothing coming out of it, except "yer cool stuff". what do you want? a society based on graphics? what is that?

Designers adapt material to culture, not culture to material. Designers are not artists.

Designing for an Illiterate society.

I said it once today already, hapiness does not come from a job, it comes from within. A job facilitates my way of making a living, it is not who I am or want to be.

man, topics like these make me think their only purpose is to make the creator look like they're the REAL designer. They know what's right and wrong when it comes to design and everyone else is just cruising along just trying to be cool. I wish i was like you and knew the truth that design really is stupid! Damn!
What a stupid ass statement, "design is stupid". Gimme a break.

it is me who's just really tired of this adapting thing, of this bending to the "rules" of the game. nevermind. sorry for my post.
