Its all ego. People may show portfolios to get work for sure. but its still all ego.
People may claim to be in love with the trade, the process, the community. But its all ego.
Some people clearly dont even have a passion for it like others, they just use the same old style as everyone else just to look cool.
Every designer I have ever met has had a huge ego, tthey wat to portray to the world that they are a creative designer!!!
its all bollocks.

Hench, I'm assuming you don't work freelance and therefore don't rely on your body of work for income. Bbut rather you take a salary and hope corporate politics don't chew you up?

Isn't 90% of web design cliché ? I see maybe a select few designers/studios doing origianl work these days.
Hey, if the fellas at Format like thier site and it helps get their name out there and showcase their work (they need to get more case studies up), then good for them.
Hench... I think you'd be eating your words if you had any work we could look at.

Although I dont expect you to know it or agree with it, this is so incredible far from the truth it is funny : )

(Jul 4 06, 09:27)I dont want to be that guy who belittiles someone elses work and never shows my own, so if you must, here is a select few peices of mainly print and logo work quickly thrown together from when I did have an ego involved in my work
Now, you can all rip the work to shreds if you like, and maybe tell me how unoriginal it all is? Or how cliche some of it?
Maybe some points might be slightly valid, although its hard to accomplish any design nowadays without an element of some style that has already been done.
I just saw the name format and thought hey what a cliche name - then i opened the site and it just blew me away at how un-original it all was. But yes if they like it and it gets them work - thats great i never said it wasn't.
And for those interested, yes I work in an office now for an established web dev company as the soul designer, and most of my work is monotonous and boring, but it pays exceptionally well and i only work 3 days a week : D
You guys are so sarcastic its great!
