I used to tell myself that creativity would be the last thing that technology would be able to replace. As someone who designs for a living that was somehow comforting.
I realize now how wrong I was.
It's not that technology will ultimately be able to replace creativity it's that it will commoditize some parts of it such as logo's, websites layouts etc.
Making a logo is not design it's illustration. You don't solve problems with logos you create a style.
Templates and logo's go hand in hand with the types of companies that needs them.
If your company can really be made with logos and templates then good for you.
I am happy there are companies out there such as 99designs, they make something that should be simple cheap.
But it's not design, it's not problem solving. The day that computers will be able to do that then we are all out of jobs anyway.
