design for the sake of design. nah ah.

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law. 
- louis sullivan

theres alot of things in graphic design that one could relate to practically anything. i have recently concluded to myself that the most successful design is if the form does indeed follow its function. its tough though. its so much easier creating an illustration or some sort, add good type design and call it done. i would like to create more things that had a function to it, not necessary one you could use, but to have an actually meaning to it. gosh the difficulties of finally understanding what is what.
