Is graphic design child's play?

We see good design all around us - whether it be on a website, a flyer or a business card - and in response people often underestimate how much effort goes into getting the finished product into that state. Of course for any graphic designer - design is fun, but that does that mean it is merely child's play to create something beautiful?

This short little video explains how non-designers typically feel they know more about how to design (courtesy of makemylogobigger.com):

Some people even try and cut corners by avoiding use of a graphic designer for their design needs - they realise very quickly that creating even a simple flyer is much more difficult then they first imagined.

In response to all the graphic design skeptics and critics - please let the graphic designers do the design work - the world will be a more beautiful place as a result .
