Response to assigned readings

Type and Image, Meggs, page viii
Graphic Design Sources, Hiebert, p 9-10

How do these readings support, expand or contradict your definition of Graphic Design?

Design is apart of every person's life, wether they know it or not. The readings support my opinion that Design is interdisciplinary and requires that you take steps over boundaries of the general norm in every aspect. One must pull visual solutions to questions put forward from every angle of the social world with a pallet of information that might not always be clear at first. The job of a designer is to learn how to simplify and enlighten the information as well as the third party viewer. With the rapid change and movement of information a designer must be innovative and build ideas, and keep in mind that the information changes just as much as the tools he or she is using.
