I think designers are caught in between two worlds. The world of originality (art) and the world of popular fashion.
We're accused of imitating if we see a new trend and assimilate it, and we're seen as 'outsider' if we create something different.
I agree with winter on the content aggravation.
There is so much imitation. Content, or depth of design experience is important. An artist or designer creates a framework of perception and then works off of it. Someone that explores the world and has something new to add to art or design, is more influential. Their vision is more likely to be original. They can bend themselves to interpret many different ideas.
One thing I like about fashion is how quickly it changes. I would never rule out the importance of a 'one trick pony' designer if they really nailed just one thing. I'd be looking at them again to see if they made more work.
I've learned to respect, listen to seasoned designers and adore flash in the pan designers.

johndiggity, re: design is not art, wouldn't you agree that design is problem solving combined with art?
A mon avis, most graphic designers consider themselves decorators rather than visual problem-solvers.

okay :)
my point is: i am observing that people is getting more literate in graphics than real knowledge (on the stuff where all this started). so what's the problem? in my op., the problem is content. design is not about content. it is about graphics. about drawing. the thing is that i browse here and here and i see people saying design is life and lifestyle and that just gets on my nerves. design is about design. design is a sub-product from art. is it mass-culture. i don't like massified concepts. so what's the point in all this effort?

Design certainly CAN make people's lives better, easier, more meaningful.
Apparently YOU just aren't using your design talent to that end.
That's YOUR fault, not 'design's fault.
Remember, design is not limited to logos, websites and business cards.
Design can be used in processes, procedures, interiors, exteriors and environments.
Your perception is limited, not design.

design can be different things to different people. to the layman it might mean nothing at all but a nother noun or word, but to others it can mean a whole world of difference.
It's all in perception, to some, sure it could be just a pay check. to those like me, it's much more. I have the opportunity to create art directly inspired by the things that inspire me the most and get paid for it on a consistant basis. For that i count myself lucky.

There has been a huge loss of culture and knowledge of design history since the computer. My girlfriend PAINTS all of her sign graphics. She is old school graphics and has such a knowledge of font design that she creates her own, on the fly with every client. She recreates billboard sized logos from a business card without projection and without a computer. That's the way it used to be done.

look design is a culture. You must live eat and breathe design to grow. If you dont grow you get washed up like most designers.
yes it is for the money. clients dont always want a message in the design. so you have to educate them at a level where they can understand the benefit of design to a mass consumer.
design does need good content.
but if you are working for a company and you have to design something in like 1 day and normally you would need like 4 you get desperate. CORPORATE DESIGN!!
If you want to design with content then you figure it out at home on personal projects.
You cannot sell design content to Sunkist or Microsoft. They just want return on investment
