Speaking of new ways of selling design, another aspect of this is designer as product creator (iphone app, etc)
And reselling your own design (Wordpress theme, component etc)
In some ways a much more efficient model than service based work

with so many ways of selling stuff online, it is only a logical step for designers to create something not for a certain client, but for a broad audience, fonts, themes, apps, posters, tshirts, some crazy products. I've been doing this design service + product sales thing for about 2 years now, and I'm coming to conclusion that selling products is simply more profitable than selling services.

If this became true, there'd be a need for a new breed of webapps that can provide a decent way for people to collaborate on projects. (There's basecamp - but I don't think that's ideal).

As a final comment on this...I think another development we will see is hopefully more designer creating their own application/ startup. Every app or site requires a designer but typically the business guy or developer is the one making the final call. I'd like to see more interfaces concepted and built end to end by designers.
