I very much dislike how the word "design" is now used in place of "visual design". Design very much used to be a science of creating cohesion and intuitiveness in any system; it's now commonly used to mean "making things look nice and attractive". There is nothing wrong with visual design, but it is a small (and arguably, less important) subset of design as a whole. Look at Apple for an example of why this is a regression; they have always touted themselves as a design-centric company. This used to mean that design principles were used to make their products incredibly intuitive, attractive, and user friendly. Now, they make very, very pretty devices and software, but they are not intuitive nor user friendly.
