    i'd like to raise another question:

    is it a good thing or damaging that (let's be honest) most designers/artists strive for recognition, that their efforts will be acknowledged in some way and be considered worthwhile to a movement or create work that is considered "great"?

    Is this a bad thing, or is a positive driving force that manifests itself in the realms of design/art by progressing ideas?

    is it enough to be a servant, ie, design as function, recognizing that good design truly benefits humanity in very fundemental ways?

    i'm sure some approach their job/passion both ways, or a combination, or that they just want to express (art) themselves, i think this is an interesting question..

    did that make sense at all?
