Most import\u00adantly it seems that the design\u00ader is going to spend an increased amount of time val\u00adid\u00adat\u00ading their prac\u00adtice against that of the cheap\u00ader ama\u00adteur. Standards.<\/p>\n<p>We dis\u00adcussed that per\u00adhaps every design\u00ader has a&nbsp;price by which they would cre\u00adate some\u00adthing that con\u00adtra\u00advened their sens\u00adab\u00adil\u00adit\u00adies. It might also be inter\u00adest\u00ading to design a&nbsp;mod\u00adel express\u00ading the development\/ respons\u00adible stages of design. From cli\u00adent to design brief. Fashion for example runs from the street to fash\u00adion design\u00ader to cat\u00adwalk to the \u00e9lite and then back to the street again in anoth\u00ader form. It is one big loop in fash\u00adion, is it the same for graph\u00adics, are there con\u00adtrols in that loop or is the jour\u00adney of an ideas through to design a&nbsp;less easy jour\u00adney to map? If this is an example of how respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity in design does not lie with one per\u00adson alone then how do we take respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity. Does ignor\u00adance mean dimin\u00adished responsibility?<\/p>\n<p>Other issues raised included, ban free pitch\u00ading which lowers stand\u00adards and sets the pres\u00adid\u00adent that young design\u00aders must work for free in order to get ahead and actu\u00adally when they do get ahead does their value suf\u00adfer as a&nbsp;res\u00adult of work\u00ading for free. This devalu\u00adation pro\u00adcess makes me think of the pro\u00adlif\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion in the blog\u00adging com\u00admunity and how it lowers the stand\u00adard and thus takes resources away focus the young truely tal\u00aden\u00adted pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adals who would oth\u00ader\u00adwise have sup\u00adport and oppor\u00adtun\u00adity.
