When you say design, it has many definitions.  One of the best is: the sythesis of form and content.  Without content their is no form, without form there is no content. Form and content are indistinguishable.  When form predominates meaning is blunted.

Don't try to be original, just try to be good. Paul Rand quoting Mies van Der Rohe.

When I teach at colleges the first thing I usually say is forget about the idea of producing a portfolio to get a ‘job’. It is far more important to do the work that you are excited by, not work that you feel you should do. The work you want to do will attract more of the work you want to do. I received an e-mail from a student the other day asking how they should tackle a certain project. I wrote back saying the first thing they should do is talk to the tutor about the fact that the project did not relate in any way to their view of the world or what they wanted from their education.
