    This is a ridiculous notion. Design will exist as long as people make visual choices. Will the role of "designers" change? Always. The message should not be that design is fading but that the role of a graphic designer is changing... and to that, well, no kidding.

    Let's just take it a step further. Marketers need clients but clients don't need marketers. After all, marketers are typically just operating at the behest of the client. With all of those free templates and platforms out there, clients can probably just push a button someday soon, their message will automatically reach the hands of the eager population and everyone will consume their product. Sweet.

    Seeing as how no one along the creative chain really adds anything beneficial to the process, we will all just show up at retail centers and see if anything new has arrived. Not that we could tell if it was new as it all looks the same anyway. Oh well, no one makes choices based on any sort of sensory preference, so we really only need to purchase what is sustaining.

    Don't worry, we can all just live off google ads from our free wordpress template sites.
