Why shouldn't graphic designers be required to get a praticing license? Much the same as architects even lawyers. It would do a lot for the trade. I can obviously see the need for licensed architects in terms of public saftey. Has design not come far enough? will there ever be a need for a licensed designer?
just thinking.
instead of a club.

how could you possibly put standards on an industry that is there to push boundaries

How wil you define the role of the designer
(Havent we done this topic several times already?)
Why doesnt the NT Search handle more than one word? (A company called Google has done this for some time)

I think it's a good idea.
Otherwise NT would still be filled with angry threads about how clients choosed their son in laws or what have you to do their designs instead of going to a bureau. Also that whole thing about them wanting to take charge over the whole design operation if they finally choose you over that son in law. Yeah, all that stuff you see on NT.Design is not necessarly art. Artist wouldn't need a certification.
Oh, and this thing has already been discussed here...
- ribit0
but how is this different from a design degree?
- Peter0
Practically the same I guess.
But not all guys who go to art school ends up knowing shit about it. One of my ex-bosses was the living proof of that. Guess we all know a guy or two like that.
See your point though, how could that sort of certification be measured?... Not sure there. I just think it would be benifical for all of us if it could be done.
- ribit0
so how do they certify architects, and why do they do it?
(Youll find answers to all these questions in the several previous threads on this topic. Extra points if you can even find the earlier topics)

Honestly I'm not that interested, I just wanted to waste a few minutes at work looking busy. I actually red some of them when they were new.
