does desing have a deeper meaning?

we saw many designs in the class and it uncovered a great part of our life to me. i never thought about it and i was never aware there are so many interesting things around us. so i started to think about design and all the things around it and i found out what design i like and why. the first thing i like about it is fun and play. that's why i like cassandre and his playing with word:
and that's why i like fukuda and his playing with reality:
but that is the first and most obvious thing i like. there is also one other thing i like about design: it can express our attitude towards society and it can carry not only beauty but also some deep social symbolism. i am always deeply affected by posters showing social issued. especially, i like the benetton ads and this one the most:

do you like it as well? it may be a "professional deformation" but i am always attrected by something that is not simply an advertisement trying hard to persuade me to buy the product. to me, we should be reminded that the world is not only a nice place.

and so is my attitude to political protest-posters. like these two...


yep, that is what i like about design :)
