Stem, excellent point
"I guess this is where 'marketing companies' have the upper hand, they tend to get much more involved with their clients"
I think (and i use my self as a worst case example here) we as designers would do well to take on board some lessons learnt in advertising and marketing and leave tackle the perception that designers aren't to be taken seriously. How this would be done is anyones guess, but you can belive that the business model for designers would have to look a hell of a lot different fom what it is now.
On the subject of a governing body, or union, I have a few ideas on this subject, and form speaking to people everyday, it seems like the majority are ready for somekind of organistation to take on the challenge of regulating designers standards, in the same way corgi defends the quality of plumbers. it's a grey area but worth looking at. I'll get round to putting a page up online dedicated to this as a discussion. If anyone is interested, I'll stick the url up here when it's done.
