You're confusing design with art or decoration.
It doesn't make sense, at all, to say that designers should be kept away if you don't even have a correct working definition of design. I'd suggest you do a little bit of research before establishing such a position. You wouldn't dismiss, e.g., an economical model without at least some knowledge about it, right?
- thwarted 11y agoMany designers confuse design with art and decoration.
- paulojreis 11y agoYeah, the same way many "software developers" confuse software development with mashing up copy & pasted code without a clear picture of how it works. I'd argue that those aren't software developers, just like the designers" you refer to aren't designers.
