There’s always ever a hand full of designers that manage to put themselves in a position where they are having fun appropriating technological change and shaping the visual language of our culture. Most designers just have to follow trends. But since, when looking at the past, you see the exciting stuff, you tend to forget it was probably dull and uninspired for the most part back then too!

For example, I have have a bit of a problem with the use of the author’s. ’we’ «Instead of deep processes of discovery, we make minimalistic versions of movie posters» Well, i don’t do that. I can’t identify with this image of the designer, even if I know it works for some people as I see these blogs too. Look at http://www.manystuff.org/ http://www.manystuff.org/ and http://dribbble.com/ http://dribbble.com/ Both sites targeted to designers, but obviously not to the same people. «I am worried that designers as a group are starting to have the wrong conversations with form.» Designers as a group don‘t exist. So which kind designers are having what kind of relationship with form? That we are surrounded by images made by other people shouldn’t necessary be a problem: we learn through imitation. So what is different this time around?
