Advertising: The Mother of Graphic Design


Most designers see advertising is a tool of capitalism, whereas graphic design is a "cultural force" to communicate ideas.

Graphic Design came from Advertising.

Designers and Advertisers scorn each other, a schism which has been perpetuated by design historiography.

The end product of advertising is not design, but sales.

Graphic Design History is often denuded of context.

Really, Advertising and Graphic Design go hand in hand.

The Future of Graphic Design?

Graphic Design came into its own in the 90's as a distinct entity.

Graphic Design may be "The Next Small Thing" [14 years later, I think graphic design is still at the forefront of our visual culture]

Stephan Bundi says that designers cannot discount the importance of drawing and creating by hand.
