Crazy! The best thing when ‘designers block’ occurs is to leave that project, get on with something else and come back to it, everything seems to click into place then! Crazy!

I had recently (about 3 hours before you posted) installed the Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin and hadnt yet configured it yet. Would be so kind to see if it commenting works now. Keep in mind I have to approve comments :) I would have to say graphic design to me means communicating images and type to convey a purpose in a short and sweet answer. All the best. Jacob Hi Paul,

I found your article interesting and thought-provoking! I wrote a comment on your site, but it didn't post - you seem to have a problem with your captcha plugin! I'll answer the question here though: It's a bit of a cop-out, but I think Graphic Design needs to be defined individually, by every single person who is asked! Graphic Design is perceived differently by each of us, from the designer to the man on the street, and from the marketeer to the consumer. There isn't a single definition that could cover all of these groups - but perhaps that's why it's such an exciting field to work in? ;) Thanks for the subscription - I've returned the favour!

What caught my eye is the opening sentence where you asked what does design mean to you? I recently did a post on 'What is Graphic Design' including a review of a video on youtube that you might be interested in. http://justcreativedesign.com/2007/11/28/what-is-graphic-design/ Anyway, what do you think? I'd love to hear. BTW you have yourself a new subscriber :) Hi,
