backlash

there seems to be a backlash now against design with a capital D. so weird! it is finally getting attention on a widescale level but is sometimes seen as 'safe'...this in a world where framing a cherished silkscreen poster from a show is seen as 'genuine'. i am not passing judgment, i just think it's an interesting thing going on right now, and there is some element of design versus craft, even male versus female. it will be even more interesting to see what the design, or Design, landscape looks like in another year.
