mistake views two
Many young web designers view their craft the way I used to view pop culture. It's cool or it's crap. They mistake Style for Design, when the two things are not the same at all.

In visual terms, style is an aspect of design; in commercial terms, style can communicate brand attributes. Jeffrey Zeldman

George Eliot
