This man is writing this article in protest to that exact statement...

I don't think I was thinking of keywords when I wrote it but you can apply it to anything, not just graphic design. Hello Mark who can’t get a GD job, I’m glad you liked the article.

Graphic Design, Music, Cooking, Fashion, Architecture, Sales, ad infinitum. So what I'm trying to say is, you hit the nail on the head. We are a controlled breed that shouldn't be...at least that's what I got out of this article. Thank you for saying what I've been thinking for years!

I must admit I had to google Bob Gill and ended up back at your site! I'm very glad you've put me on to him and I'll hopefully read more about him. I was a bit worried about posting this as it was sort of tongue-in-cheek but, along with that quote, I think people will get what I'm saying. It reminds me of another quote from some old Elizabethan playwrite: "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" Thanks again! Thanks for the comment David.

The design is good if it does what you want it to do. It's bad if it doesn't. In the words of Bob Gill:

There’s no such thing as “good design” or “bad design”. The design is good if it does what you want it to do. It’s bad if it doesn’t.
