In a critical studies debate on 28/1/09 we discussed whether graphic design was a fine art or social science using a text by Jorge Frascara as a source. By reading what Frascara had to say and by taking it in objectively I came up with these points:
1/ To be a good graphic design is has to be appropriate to the context and communication in all areas.
2/ Graphic design should be discussed in all visual styles, not just posters and books.
3/ Graphic design needs to communicate with the public with its ideas and issues, it should not just aesthetically please.
4/ Modern avante guarde typography is an example of how typographic deisgns during this period were more abstract and aesthetic that communicating its ideas and being appropriate.
I came to the conclusion that in order to succeed in its aim and communicate ideas then Graphic design is not or should not be a Fine art.
