One group doesn't understand the other. To be honest, no. There's a lot of nice-looking design going on, but there's so much more that interests me in the art world. Art and film are the areas that vitally interest us. Film is an art form I truly love.
People hate art because it's boring, dead, and closed in on itself.
And people just don't understand what graphic design is. It's devalued because it's ephemeral.
