Complexity in self-design and simplicity on teh platform Not yet a conclusion Literature ; This paper explores the concept of «self-design» in the digital age. It poses that while everyone is now a designer, constantly shaping their online identities, this agency is limited by capitalism due to platform constraints and accelerated consumer culture. The paper draws on theoretical concepts from design theory and structuralism to show how the idea of design has evolved from first waves of design democratization to the notion that everyone is obliged to become a designer. It explores how social media platforms have turned self-presentation into a form of self-design by incorporating viewpoints from Baudrillard and Krippendorff to understand the role of consumption, advertisement and objects in shaping identity. The paper concludes by calling for a shift towards critical design theory that acknowledges the complexity of the design field, that of individuals and the underlying systems, asking for an increase in hurdles rather than to take them away.:Introduction Methodological Access Theoretical Background Shaping the modern identity od designers Shaping the self through meaning and use of objects Voluntary submission by design The self has a virtue: it has become a sign The fact that we consume, defines us. not what we consume Discussion «Designed» or «By Design»?
