Design is...

Graphic Design is ideas with clothes on.

Fashion is clothes with ideas.

Humans are lumps of flesh with ideas... and clothes on.

Design is the tangible look of a company, the branding agent, the core of an advertising campaign, and the backbone to non verbal communication.

It is the skin, the flesh, and the clothes of a company.

The logo becomes the face and branding the body.

Design makes an etherial, intangible company into an identifiable, person like, being.

Design turns ideas and concepts into people.

Graphic Design is a way of thinking.

A way of looking at things and a way of solving problems. How does graphic design do all these things? How is it so versatile?

I pose that it is because graphic design does one very simple thing. Graphic design makes ideas real. That is all it does. This seemingly simple task is so efficient that it can take any form you will it to.

Design is human.

We are design. Design is the human aspiration of something better.

In the next stages of humanity; gender, race, and religion will be lost to the greater goal of clarified, direct, reductive humanity.

Design itself is the next state of humanity. “Human plus” by design, our design; Homo-consilium.

But what will Homo-consilium look like? How will they differ? Well, that's up to us designers, makers, craftsmen, to come up with what we will become. It is our responsibility to improve ourselves.

It is our job to fix what is broken. As it stands, our world is broken and in need of fixing. Not just in the physical problems such as climate change but a deeper sociological issue.

An issue where the vox populi are indifferent and gullible. A better form of human may fix that. Be less susceptible to lies about what is good, right, or acceptable. Hopefully they will be able to think independently and not take their ideas from mass media.

The next stage must be better and we mustn’t be afraid to do what is necessary to get there. Morality isn't a thing we should throw out but we must rethink whether certain things are morally wrong.

The use of the dead for scientific advancement was morally wrong before the results out weighed the taboos and sentimentalities of death.

We must make the same attitude change with the unborn dead and of creating new life forms if we wish to truly alter ourselves as a race and as a society.

We must stop ignoring areas left as gods domain, the secrets of the universe and of life can't stay undiscovered if we wish to become anything more than a stage 1 civilisation and a stage 3 life form.
