No graphic design is not ';art.'; Art is normative, stand alone and intent based. Art stands by itself as a means to a broader discussion of social political, intellectual and aesthetic issues. Graphic design on the other hand may employ social, political, intellectual and aesthetic means, but functions solely to support market advertising, a separate purpose superior to its existence in and of itself. Unlike art graphic design does not seek to instigate or generate discourse on the nature of graphic design. It seeks to lure and attract attention or market share to goods and/or services and information resources through the simplest and most direct means of psychology, color and symbol possible. Art seeks to focus the intellect on to the art object itself to generate discourse based on and directly referential to that art object and by extension on the larger stream of art history. Though highly sophisticated and often, by definition of purpose ';attractive'; in its methods and means graphic design ultimately stands only as a subordinate servant to a product or service other than itself.Do you think that Graphic Design is a true form of art?
MJ is equationg the word ';art'; with the word ';important';, graphic design does indeed save lives, careful recording and representation of information was the means by which a British doctor pinpointed the origin of a cholera epidemic in London. Gapminder.org showcases software that uses existing data to challenge preconceptions about the state of the worlds economic geography and health. This is precisely why it is not art. Art has no purpose other than itself, graphic design can be a targeted tool for problem solving, it may also be used as the medium for art, just as anything else can be.
25, Texas. Graphic Design saves Lives. It is not photoshop is not cropping a photo and throwing a filter on it. It is logo marks, illustration, packaging, public service announcements, band posters, typography, magazine layout, billboards, websites, and the list goes on and on. I have a teacher that letterpresses band posters, look him up on www.gigposters.com his name is Dirk Fowler. Then tell me that it is not art. Look up Eleanor Grosch at www.pushmepullyoudesign.com, she designs freelance for Keds, Urban Outfitters, and more. Her artwork pops up on posters, tennis shoes, and even skate boards. Graphic Designers are artists that need no gallery, the world is our palette and our gallery. Saul Bass, www.designmuseum.org/design/saul-bass, all I can say is look him up. Graphic Design is art that needs no gallery show.
