wow, this thread went a little crazy... there was one quote in the thread that brings it back to where i think the thread started:
"this one of my favorite quotes.
the best way to brake the rules is to never have learned them.
- Eric Jordan 2advanced"this is true of anything in life. when we are kids, we look at things with such incredible creativity... how do we get back to solving our design problems like we did before we had so many preconceived notions and set ways of solving problems, like when we were kids? if all rules are imposed on us, how do we unlearn them so we can be truly creative?
maybe we shouldn't be looking for the next big thing, the new style, but where design can go next. and a design portal is a great place to discuss ideas like this. it's unfortunate when people just start insulting each other. not really the best way to facilitate a discussion.
of course, someone also mentioned clients don't give a shit about groundbreaking design, they just want some one to make them look good. and it's very true. maybe it doesn't matter if people are ripping each other off then. they're getting the job done not trying to change design.
ok, i'm done.
