Task three- Essay Ideas

Main thrust of my argument:

Title: The social effect of Graphic design

  • Even though graphics is seen in everyday life its a very passive form of design so does it have social effect?
  • Many people engage with design everyday and is applied to most paper based sources in masses, yet graffiti is becoming the art form of this bombarding society with a message.
  • The angel of the north os a piece of fine art as is graffiti yet why is one seen to be more acceptable than another?
  • We see the uses of graphic design everyday and often recieve things such as mailouts underground maps etc for free yet a free art gallery is going to be something of the past does this mean fine art is considered more value and why is this?
  • Is graphic design considered as a 'waste' art form due to its paper based form in most cases the design is ignored and the fact wasted paper is more of an issue.
