OSFA, you are an idiot.
discussing design here is a fucking farce, i don't even know why i waste my time.

OSFA, I think you definitely missed the point of the article if you're looking for a portfolio from the author.

You didn't read the whole article....???
Not sure what to say after that, the rest of your comment was pretty off the mark.

I don't think the idea of socio-ethicv responsibility is anything new. And as far as the ubiquity of design & tools goes, I really don't see a threat to my viability as a designer. I think we should all keep doing our honest best to create solid work, quietly and humbly. Good design will always be valuable to certain types of people, and will always be inscrutable to some others. I think if designers are getting sour about clients who go for templates and stock photography every time, you know, the 'cheaper is always better' ethic, then they should look for new clients. They are out there and I don't see any sign of that changing. Then again I could be in a glass bubble, fastly approaching the cliff without detecting so much as a whiff of danger...

Arrogance sucks, it overshadows brilliance.
Confident but not arrogant.
It seems like a line that ,if you walk it correctly, can reward you with success.

he's obviously speaking about some genuinely important issues, but what is he offering that hasn't already been said?
watered-down and self-congratulatory bollocks i say.

(Mar 19 07, 03:44)I guess I'd agree with you about that.
and about your last post.
As for questions he raises? There are lots - not going to go back and find them - but I will say that the impression I got from the article is that he's NOT really trying to insult designers - just trying to make people expand their definition of what design is and what it can and should do.
He's not really speaking to the designers of imagery and style but to the designers that think about things on a deeper level . The problem solvers, communicators, innovators, business leaders.
He does say some things that I'm at odds with - but over all I think his view is correct.
Maybe Bruce Mau is better at this type of comment, though.

(Mar 19 07, 07:39)well - i don't really hate anybody... but the bit about looking like moby and having little gadgets was really funny.
what's up with your needing trees? that's not so funny. not even sure what you mean.

In my experience it's a combination of the arrogance of the client and the designer that makes things intolerable. At least the designer can articulate their solution, and usually has the experience to justify it. Sometimes the client has nothing but arrogance and 'want' and the resulting frustration.
