You would think firms would want to strive to be recognized for vision and talent, in the name of awards and artistic notoriety and such. Why isn't that?
Hell, even when I worked at Christie Digital, the design team had such a vision for the design of the projectors we made — things that were industrial grade and would never be seen by consumers. They always wanted to make them elegant in that class of product, strove for design awards. And yet we've got these massive, permanent (for all intents and purposes) buildings that will be seen daily by thousands, if not tens of thousands of people, and firms are happy just hiring Joe Shmo, on the basis of "he graduated, that's enough"
