Design is about change. Design helps you to understand a message in a paper, in a magazine or on a website. Design influences what you buy and what not. Design influences what you think and what not.

But design is not a goal on itself. It’s about the message.

As a designer you can change the world by choosing which clients you work for and which message you help sending. Or ofcourse by making your own message.

Design will save the world. Unfortunately fashion industry won’t. Industrial, medical, scientific design will indeed save the world. Fashion design makes you a pretentious faggot everbody hates.

None of you retards even know what your talking about. For instance without design, there would be no computers and defiantly no internet. There would also be no furniture or artwork, without that you might as well just be suits walking around. A designer is a person who takes a current situation and progresses it into a preferred one.

I personnally agree with the poster of this message.
Though designers(especially architects) can and do create things that are useful to the planet and to people in general (especially with that trend of renewable energies and ecology), they often clearly have a tendancy to feel more important and better than anyone else. Especially graphic designers.

So I find the first image (which is proudly my desktop wallpaper) pretty awesome.
It’s especially funny since it was made itself by a graphic designer, but one with a good sense humour and self-derision.

Design makes people happy?
Are we in the western world happier than the people in Africa? No.
So what has design brought us? Nothing but greed
Should we bring all our “helping” designs to less developed countries, I dont think so because design will not save the world.

design will not save the world, unless you design something that will have a positive impact AND it gets built/implemented. if it doesn’t get implemented, it’s just more dead tree going straight to landfill.
