I'm only in the first 20 minutes of the revolution and the manifesto is still in its infancy. But, as a starting point, a 'designer' would need to have completed training in a discipline that was accredited by an appropriate professional body (of which there are many for the visually creative disciplines). I'd like to make it illegal to practice without said accreditation but that might be a little too draconian.
Thanks
Mark

But, come the revolution for which I have just become its self-styled leader, one day, it may well be. Viva la revolution; viva le designeur!!!
If "designer" were a professional designation protected by law:
What would qualify one to be a lawful designer?
What would be prohibited to a non-designer (i.e., what is the act of design that would be protected by the legislation)?
