    Its a criticism of the the design industry in and out of London.

    If you are a london company then you get the opportunity to have cash thrown at you to do mindless stuff with no real purpose. more "art projects" than actual graphic design.
    You also stand in good stead for getting these sort of client jobs if you went to StMartins and fall within the Clique of all that hyped shit.

    If you are a company outwith London then you never get the chance to do that kind of thing. Clients want work that will give them physical returns.

    I'd LOOOVE someone to come along and say "heres £10,000, i want you to make me something that spins and looks mad and shit - it doesnt need to have a purpose".

    *kisses*
