The consequence of this design democracy is an ugly spectacle of deep purples and electric oranges. It's a culture of me-me-me: my hideously personalized car, my hideously personalized sofa, my hideously personalized house. It's that fat woman in the tight dress that only exaggerates her obesity. It's that loud pick-up truck with the tinted windows and the tastelessly sexualized exhaust pipe.

ok, so where did that go exactly? Target? Target is designing so they can control the margins. Dont kid yourself....thats buisness. P&G? - Proctor & Gamble do a lot of talking about design, but what are they really doing? Can anyone tell me...I'm really curious. And can we get away from this notion that one person is responsible for the design of (x), in this case the Ipod. Its a team effort. Thats why the design credit goes to apple, not a single individual. This is one reason why design in this country is going nowhere, because everyone thinks they can be a star and america loves celebrity.
