It's been a while since I actually designed anything. The business I started managed to manifest into a predominantly into SEO.
Mainly because clients pay monthly and they don't keep asking for a bigger logo.
However ... I MISS design. It's been a few years since I had a portfolio. What's the current state of design?
Do companies still value design?

As always, some do, some don't. Spend the time to find good clients and do good work and things will be great, otherwise you'll end up hating it.

You're better off asking someone who isn't in design. Not that important though, IMHO. Maybe sort of important.

i read a lot of books - i've gotten in the habit of judging them by the cover. and oddly enough... i'd say that the above 6.5/10 is about right. 6.5/10 is it.

design is too broad a term to just generalize on this question but good design at it's core is essential.
a well designed car engine will work more efficiently than a badly designed car engine.
but some cosmetic design is irrelevant and is a luxurious kind of decoration.

agree with zoozoo. in its broadest term, the definition of design is to conceive out a plan, to devise a specific function or end, to has a purpose. the dictionary's words, not mine.
everyday, even without realizing it, we design. so yes, it's very important.

What a stupid question. Everything is designed. Everything. You can't go 5 minutes without seeing something that was designed.
