I heard it in this sentence, "(name witheld) is a slave to designerism" and didn't get the opportunity to ask what was meant.
RE: If, Designerism
designerism Superfluous, self-conscious design.
The listing on the site poses the example question: "Just how many types of doorknob does the world need?". Anyone who is truly a designer would know the answer is "One more, if it's my design."
RE: If, Designerism
It's a fine perception thing; I think designers are all about that.

Kind of reminds me of an old Dilbert strip...
"Since my appearance only affects other people, it's not worth optimising it."
If clothing design were left to engineers, it'd need to satifisy climate and decency requirements only!

Actually, HgTX, I'd expect that kind of sentiment from an accountant or manager type rather than an engineer. I doubt it was an engineer who dreamed up the cubicle.
