By the way, no, I'm not a designer but I value their skills a great deal

If only people would trust their designer on matters concerning good design. Lots of people prefer to take control and most of the time we have to convince them that certain things are just a no no. A client's input is important though.
What they teach you at University is very limited. Experience and creativity is what counts. Coming up to 9 years of commercial experience on top of the years spent at Univeristy, its not a long amount of time but we brush up quite well I think
