[IxDA Discuss] Everyone is a designer

[W Evans]

I would also include marketing gurus like Seth Godin, re: his brilliant(ly
flawed) article on information design of quantitative information in power
point <http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/08/how-to-make-a-p.html>presentations.
Some people have good marketing ideas. Seth has some great
ones; and he has been elevated, through memetic transfer similar to sleeping
with half the people in your dorm in college, to becoming a marketing
"Guru," but that guru-dom is NOT transferable most times to other highly
specialized professions. Being a marketing guru does not make you a designer
- and certainly not an information design guru.
