of all the portfolios i see, most of the interesting ones are from european designers. people who study at ecal and others schools?
are there as many bad designers in switzerland and netherlands as this country, or are they just more cultured?

Maybe our clients just suck harder here in the US? I give up.

I don't think talent is based on geography, but can you back up your statement maybe based on the design educational system, cultural environment / aesthetics? Or are you just takin' the piss looking to stir trouble?

talent isn't based on geography but the market and industry is and this has a pretty major effect on the talent for better or worse. I don't support his thesis because its a superficial one at best, i mean USA and Europe are both enormous, but I still think there is an ounce of truth to these things. Its just more localized than this, best off comparing major cities and styles, and even here there is no real qualitative difference. and what about Asia ?!

Simple. Blame it on the fucking clients. Next question...

I'm wondering about the differences between the better design schools in America and Europe.

Most europeans who cant find work come to US.

As a Canadian, I think some of the best work is coming out of the UK.

you must be still pretty fresh. maybe even still in school. hopefully not in the u.s. then. (based on your own review).
