It's about solving problems and negotiating a fee to solve their problems. You may have the best design and even ideas but if companies don't see them as necessity then the bests are the worst. This goes for every industries not just design.

Yes, that's the ideal position graphic designers ought to get themselves into.

However, more often than not, graphic designers do not have that opportunity to negotiate a fee, let alone coming up with one.
Of course, the only way out of this is to get out of the order-taker role, and become the consultant, or freelance, or self-employ.

But even so, I promise you, majority of Malaysians don't value design, as much as it solves problem, big or small.

The PLJ (peng-leng-jeng / cheap-good) mentality and the misunderstood purpose of design killed many designers.
Still killing tbh.
