@joeymcnair CSS isn't just visual. It's about presenting content to a given media type. SVG is far more of a design-focused language.

I always think that CSS is presentation. I do CSS not Photoshop, that's why I can't call myself a designer @mollydotcom

@mollydotcom THAT tweet deserves it’s own blog post. Or SOME sort of longer writeup/discussion. Because I think many people feel CSS=Design.

@mollydotcom I'm trying to work out what your larger point might be... Ducks are not design either. :)

@subcide to clarify the point - people are using the term *presentation* when they mean *design* and assuming #CSS is design.

@mollydotcom completely agree. My biggest pet hate is design galleries branding themselves as CSS galleries.

@mollydotcom This is why I dislike “designing in the browser”; otherwise known as “making it up as I go along” :)
