    tank,
    You can't get "interested in design" without getting interested in why those designs get created, who's paying (thus manipulating) for it and what the intended purpose is. Even more so when you talk about art as "what's behind the surface" is the fundamental question of art. This talk of "democratization" is utterly false as you are trying to democratize only one aspect of design (so more people care about it) and have zero interest in discovering what goes on behind the curtains. In effect you are trying to create a perfect consumer. And so you have, as Raf said, thinly disguised infomercials for brands peddled as actual documentary. In your "democratic" world, what happens when people can't see through the BS?
