Damn I remember that clip, from back in the day when I used to lurk on Apple fan forums.

I've made some websites over the past years, some of which were iWeb and Photoshop made, your stereotypical kid. I've even made a site with the Adobe Muse beta (protip: don't). Over the years I've improved my designing significantly though, but I'd definitely hesitate to call myself a designer, even though I do design things.

Maybe I'm using No True Scotsman here, but isn't there a difference here between a kiddie with a Wordpress theme and a 'proper' designer? Isn't the latter producing a much more refined product that has a completely different market (companies) than the CC kid (market: your aunt)?

insomniasexx, would love to hear your input on this.
