there is an interesting discussion thread starting around the subject of design principles and branding.

The initial poster poster later identifies himself as possessing ’30 years of experience in the advertising field’.  I am particularly enjoying this forum thread because of the different viewpoints that are expressed and exposure to expert opinion.

i also want to say here that I believe we all filter information naturally through the lens that we are most comfortable with.  Brent is assimilating new information into his existing cognitive structures which are grounded in the advertising world. Joe, on the other hand, does not have this experience and is taking a wider view of the potential designer role.

Another thread discusses the way various platforms use algorithms to manipulate it’s users. Sounds like the filter bubble argument to me, which is negated by forums of this type.
