But in true form real designers like me do think out of the box. It's a challenge to find something fresh for all people to see.

Because companies, nowadays, cut their budget for marketing, they try to come up with the design themselves. And everybody wants to be a designer -- the receptionist, the sales rep, the marketing coordinator, etc. It's a disaster. They often don't know that there are rules when it comes to design (although those rules can be broken as long as the purpose isn't compromised, i think). Sure, anyone can learn and be a graphic designer but the best ones have the gift. I agree with Dana.

I have loved it since the day I saw it :) I think true designers just have a gift.Yes, some things can be taught but style just isn’t one of them.So many things go in to theme designing.The designers must have a great eye for color and be very imaginative.They are sorta like interior designers for blogs.I tried designing but didn’t have the gift, so I just leave it to people like you and Scott and Phu :)
