this is the point of dicussion:
aren't we graphic designers? isn't that solving communication for clients through design? so, using established styles and methods is part of our brief. the talent for the most part is the quality of the delivery and it's success in achieving client goals
the rest is crap obviously to overstate the initial point.

Yes that is an excellent form of discourse. Let's come up with the most extreme situations (create a new original font...) and use them to justify dishonest and deceptive practices.
You'll have to pardon me if I don't feel like partaking in such nonsense, airey.
- then discuss the point underneath the crap i wrote, which is still valid.airey

fate_ - below is intended as a conversation and discussion point, not a cheap shot.

do you also think a designer should:
• create a new original font for every brief - because using an existing font is copying.
• never use photoshop or illustrator (or indesign) styles, filters or plugins - obviously they are already used somewhere.
• hand-make paper for every print run, i mean it's been used before yeah?
• etc - pls insert other ludicrous examples to support my small point but not really.if you honestly think anyone's folio is original you may need to prepare yourself for what i like to call 'reality'. it might seem a crushing blow when it catches up to you.
discuss.
- this is what i'd call the difference between graphic design and being an artist. they are different.airey

^ Designers often seem to forget that design is for the people, you can have a valid opinion regardless of wether you have a competitive body of work behind you or you scoop chicken shit all day.

hey ravi, i don't have a folio online and even if i did it's not good enough to make fun of other peoples, so could i just take cheap shots at you personally? so i could join in? i love to be part of a gang. it could be like batesole all over.
