Re: How do we define "design-er"?

Hi Ray: Hummmmmmmmm! Noise on the line...Must be symbolic of something!
How about this one for "design":

DE = of or concerning
SIGNIO = symbols

"Design" = Of or concerning symbols.

How about this one for "designer":

One who is involved with things concerning symbols = Designer.

In other words, there is a semantic issue involved with design,
and many poor (and registered) architects exclude it from the
making of architecture. [I use the term "architect" in the legal
sense, since noone can use it without being registered! Pretty
stupid, is is not?]

Thanks for your earlier comments. What does the noise mean? :-)
