form > or < function

At the moment i find myself lacking motivation do any design work outside tafe hours. Maybe i will be more enthusiastic after building a portfolio website because i will have a place to upload work to that doesn't have 'fine print' attached. I have been looking at newstoday more often but not finding much of other peoples work that interests me. I'm developing a dislike for advertising (more specifically the purpose) and am unsure of where i will 'fit in' within the design industry. I prefer functional design rather then form design so maybe interactive games/software design.
