  fate_ - below is intended as a conversation and discussion point, not a cheap shot.

  aren't we graphic designers? isn't that solving communication for clients through design? so, using established styles and methods is part of our brief. the talent for the most part is the quality of the delivery and it's success in achieving client goals.

  do you also think a designer should:
  • create a new original font for every brief - because using an existing font is copying.
  • never use photoshop or illustrator (or indesign) styles, filters or plugins - obviously they are already used somewhere.
  • hand-make paper for every print run, i mean it's been used before yeah?
  • etc - pls insert other ludicrous examples to support my small point but not really.

  if you honestly think anyone's folio is original you may need to prepare yourself for what i like to call 'reality'. it might seem a crushing blow when it catches up to you.

  discuss.
