In this period of crisis, designing for the depression certainly seems to be taking its toll on many of us pencil-pushing-product-ers -- evident not only in the previous post, but also in this poster we ffffound online.

Soup Kitchens will save the world?? -Spoken like someone who's never volunteered at a soup kitchen:)
That image says exactly how I have been feeling about certain peers!
Ewoh; You think people like this would start a fundraiser or something.
What if I design for soup kitchens?
lol adam so true!
Soup kitchens don't pay the bills
once there was this soup kitchen
it had a logo for its name "Cityside Soup"
the logo had a drop shadow and beveled edges
no one would eat there
the homeless continued eating out of the dumpster
Ironically, someone designed this, no matter how simple it looks. Also, volunteering at soup kitchen won't save the world.
I am tired of my friends telling me this. I am sure that design ranks higher on the "saving the world" list than politics and cosmetology. On the other hand, after a long presentation about a product that can stop the spread of AIDS, filter water, slow global warming and, in the event of an emergency. serve as a flotation device, I would tend to agree.
Why are you all attacking his example of "soup kitchens" instead of defending design? Maybe because his point (the overhyped state of design, not the positive impact of soup kitchens) strikes a chord?
ART + DESIGN = IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY.
design is "the" thing that "will" save the world ..it is human consumption that may destroy it ...the ever expanding science of recycling and the use of biodegradeables is at the forefront of DESIGN.. bad language on the other hand (or visuals) will only feed the confusion of likewitted weakwilled bucketmouths...
Well you did design this image.
Now imagine, and this is far from impossible, that this image makes only one designer step out the door to help at a soup kitchen, or even just gets him a bad feeling so that he donates ten bucks via paypal.
In that case, design would just have changed the world for the better.
