"What country do you think produces the best graphic designers?"
This thread is wrong people..
Good designer is about individuality, how does your design sepparates from the rest. Its not about countries, or trends, its about individuals, you can't ask that question...
Its not like we are talking about grapes people!!!

Yes designers are individuals but you can place that theory on anything (which country has the best runners?). I think the post is about a statistical look at where most good designer come from. Like many statistics - whether it is coincedence or trend is anyones guess.
However, a designer is built from influences around them, whether it be their childhood, the companies/people/projects they work with, or just their life influences -- which are all somewhat related to the country they're in at the time and it's culture.

are you all talking just about web design?
for crying out loud, if not, you've completely left out italy, which has an incredible design heritage since the times of the renaissance to now.

well from that point of view, you are right. everyone gets influenced by their environment somehow, but my friend lives to bolcks from my house, he is a designer too, he makes a trip to india and becomes buddhist, comes back we are veeeery diffrent, we live to blocks from each other.. get my point?
I get a lot of influences from everything asian, from movies to food, martial arts, and history.
im from south america. never been to china.
today global comunications have merged cultures by erasing geographical barriers.
And besides, design cant be compared to runners, cause you can mesure the time on a racetrack, how would you define, which designer is best? who made more page layouts?
Design is an art, and as long as you follow certain rules like color schemes, and visual equilibrium, etc you can't say its a BAD design, you can say: I dont like it.
Maybe the thread should be, Where does your favorite designers come from?
just a thought

when there is no client in the game, you can call it art.
When you make your own assignment.

miklo.....post whatever you want to post...I was just asking in a general sense...Some countrie do in my opinion produce or seem to have more innovative designers than others. It doesn't mean that there is a lack of innovative design in the U.S. or canada or anywhere else... America is very spread out and there are cities that are more innovative than the rest of the country. New york, san fran and minneapolis.
Some design is art but not all design is art. I don't like rules.
