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.

some people call that trolling, but it's not- a provocative comment you don't necessarily believe, or only half believe, put out to stimulate reaction, is a good thing

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.

just opinion. it's funny how opinions can still be uncomfortable when it goes against the common accepted thing, hey?
- swollenelbow0
your opinion was mush, sorry, but it fixed nothing and just made people say the words "design is" alot.

design sucks when everything around you is design by someone.
dont you know that things come to form as they are growen from the trees and on the ground?

swollen... don't commit suicide.

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.

Not your opinion i had a problem with, but the premise. Seemed kinda naive to me. Anway, like Rand said, good to get people talking; even if it's only to attack u and try and put u straight.

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.
