I’ve posted above justifying what I said. In the commercial world all the top performing/talk of the town visual work in the Uk is very often done by foreign designers and Creative Directors and artists. I work in this so I would have some idea.
Builders Club, the top agency right now is headed by a Swiss Creative Director. Panoply, whose 3D artists and directors were once the top talent at ManVsMachine, are Swedes I believe.
The Uk quite simply does not have a strong graphic design tradition. They are strong in product design, fashion and engineering. They import good design.
Im not sure where you got the impression that I was talking about British vs UK designers.
I didn’t say British designers were terrible either. The work that’s produced might not be as interesting, sometimes due to client preference as well.
As I’ve explained in other comments, countries have traditions of quality and that matters. The UK is excellent at engineering, product design, and they had one of the most successful fashion designers of the century in Alexander McQueen.
so if I happened to say that Turkey isn't producing significant AI talent, then pointed to Hinton and Demis working in Canada/UK and point how well their students / associated schools are doing, would you respond in the same manner?
Do you actually believe education quality and teacher cohort is meaningless?
