"First Things First" thoughts



As I noticed from most contemporary readings, every discipline will go out of their way to show that they have a place in this world in a larger scale. This article was no different.

I have yet to believe that graphic design does serve a bigger purpose. After reading this article however, I am contemplating about it. I would like to believe it does. Until then, there is a lacking of information/evidence that it does.

To an extent it does of course. But not in a huge extent. But I think that’s what the writers are trying to get out. If we, as graphic designers, band together and focus our strengths on something more meaningful, we can be as important as the publication of the bible. Perhaps that’s too strong of an idea, but that is an idea. And that’s the beauty of graphic designer. Making the viewer think of an idea a certain way.

I’m sure there is some sort of innate thing that graphic design does to people. I have yet the information for it.

This has been on mind. What about the consumers? Are they that dumb to become mystified by our design and thus, cough up the money to get this product it represents? And then get upset enough to sue the company ‘cause it didn’t fulfill their expectations according to the design? Not like we all think that. Thank God.
