what is design? where is design going?

have to admit... little bit over current designers and the "new kids". i question their thought process, in more ways than one, when answering a brief from a client, or is it the final product of a design.

i love their company sites. they say fuck all, consistently. they design stuff because they feel it will fit entirely into the current fashion cauldron
WELL DONE KNOB CHEESE!
every description of their process and reasoning behind their work is quiet outstanding. eg.
"Noise is a media-based initiative that profiles artists (25 and under) and their creative works across the media. This booklet was designed to encourage artists to submit their art in all forms- moving image, fashion, words, industrial design, and everything else."
WTF ... lol... well blow me down and call me shirley... nice! so what did you do and y?

then there is the the other MOB
"At night the body of the building is unlit, so that it recedes, and the display cases hang in the air"
shit yeah... where is the building?

so which one would you rather look at?

imho - either say something ... or say nothing
