well it seems like LA has a very colorful playful style at least with motion graphics, where new york and SF arent much different but a bit more formal and edgy in that they produce stuff w a bit more attitude. London seems sort of the same. I know these are generalizations but national design as a topic is sort of that.
You know come to think of it, i think design is sometimes a function of the weather, kind of like painting, deutch rennaissance work was much darker than the counterparts in italy, kind of a function of their environment.
