You have to be kidding me if you think graphic design is solely about visually interesting design. we like to call it "communications design" - notice how the word communications is longer than the word design, and how it comes BEFORE the word design. This is because it is most important. A futuristic layout means absolutely nothing if its not for a "futuristic" type of company. You say that futuristic style of design is most popular nowadays? Well if a designer uses that style on a web site for a product or service that isnt futuristic in any way, shape or form than they are wrong. So what if something looks cool, it really isnt helping the company out in any way. what helps the company send a message is, clarity, visual flow of information, a hierarchy of type, most importantly a voice, and after all of that is taken care of, then you can incorporate the aesthetics of the piece.

Im just so sick about hearing how everyone thinks that 2advanced is so amazing. In a sense it is because of the flash animation, but as a graphic designer I really feel that eric jordan needs to improve on his communication skills. What he really is, is an artist expressing his futuristc designs and animations. Certainly not a designer from what i can see
