As a designer who has heard this all before (remember how Design was supposed to have entered the mainstream in the 80’s… and then it all faded away to be repeated not once but twice since then?), I can only feel sympathy for those young designers who aren’t aware that this is not the first time and it probably won’t be the last. And the people spinning the story the hardest now are often the same ones who were spinning it back then. History repeats. I wonder if the flavor of KoolAid is the same?
