However I think designers designing for themselves is a thin line. If a designer is developing a well researched and developed product that a client rejected because of stupid reasons, then I'll say go for it. But it is true, on the other side of the line, it just gets into self gratification. Regardless, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments. BTW have you heard from Takashi? Hi Shane,
