Why having good designer is important, regardless what field you're in?

We live in an era when short & concise informations have become more appealing than any other time in our history. Don't think so? Look at the undeniable success of  meme. Our lives span couldn't catch up to the growing speed of all these human activities. School, after graduate, we picked the wrong major, we start again, we try to find dates, catch up with social gathering, take care of elders, youngsters, people in need, take care of ourselves, health, finance, look, hobbies.... We end up rushing home to our family, rushing to work to our heavy load of responsibilities, the same loop of races every day, every week. The busy and fast paced life style can't afford us to stay too long for one thing at a time anymore.

And the only thing that could gasp attention away from any one's dense schedule, is a good concise graphic.

Let's change our habit to save the planet!

Why don't we consume less plastic products,
carry your own food container, water bottle,
drinking cup and cutlery?
We're responsible for our own need, not
the environment and future generations.
