    I find it kind of amazing that Graphic Design still doesn't have some kind of guild or qualifications board.

    Let's be honest, the AIGA is a figurehead. We have no real quality controls or any sort of cohesion as an industry. (As opposed to something like the WGA)

    • I'm not sure about the idea of unionizing designers, but I do think there should be some standards in place.Josev
    • True, we're not architects, but we do contribute more than we're given credit for. I'm tired of our profession being devalued by designers, you should be supporting the value we offer.Josev
