Design dies each time the solution is presented to the designer instead of the problem that needs solving.

When people stopped accounting for taste.
- No, when the money people started to think their taste matters. Good design is good design.i_monk
- No, wrong. Everything is subjective, including "good design".cannonball1978

Design is one of the most successful occupations of our time. Theres so much more of it now compared to twenty or thirty years ago.

Apple and Adobe have both contributed to the death of design...along with Wordpress, Themeforest, templates, etc...
My 11 year old niece thinks that she is a designer, photographer and video director.
- She's got the right idea - this is where its been heading for as long as i can rememberSlashPeckham
- Just think how amazing your niece will be at 21 if she sticks with it. I was drawing bad copies of spiderrman at 11monNom

I think Cannonball and I are on the same page:
"When people stopped accounting for taste."
Great theories, I mean I think some of them are completely bizarre but I enjoy the discussion.

I think design and music and EVERYTHING is a reflection of humanity at the time.
We are at our MOST unnatural state.
Our art and design is as well.
Nothing feels or sounds real to me.
Things move so fast the definition of timeless is changing before our eyes.
"Tradition" is now an ugly word to most
Contemporary painting looks a lot like contemporary design to me.
Trying so hard to have a great idea.
It's in the grid work.
Just like a great song.
It is why Bob Dylan lives on.
It is why TIMES NEW ROMAN lives on.
No one pays attention to shelf life
AKA the ability to span time and distance
ETC.
