Creative genius Bilal Padia and 'The Butcher' Raza Kazi battle it out in this week's episode of the Design vs podcast, as we debate the quote:
"Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it's decoration."

Spoiler alert! Ultimately, we never figure it out.
Masters of their disciplines, Bilal and Raza agree to disagree — although we settle on content being slightly harder to produce as it can rarely be templated in the way that design can. Plus, there's this thing called grammar.
