If you like the style, then great, keep pushing it and taking it further. It would be great to see someone take that specific style to the next level as I personally have not seen, but you could very well do it.
I don't necessarily agree that design is a service industry. I believe that design in its truest for is an art with an agenda for change which is achieved through the communication of the piece. Design is ment to push boundarys and challenge the observers mind. When a piece of graphic design is done for commercial purposes, this can be somewhat restraining, as most, especially clients are afraid of change. And although the designer is paid for a service he is doing for the client, it is the designers responsibility to take the given parameters and break them as much as possible, without sacraficing the intergrity of the piece and loss of the client. All the great movements in graphic design (and life in general) arose because the designers said "fuck the rules" and did the most radical things they could think of. But nough of my ramblings on... What I'm trying to say is that, yes, graphic design is "service industry", but the designer should not do exactly what he/she is told...
