is graphic design considered art... really...

 

not trying to shit on it, because as graphic design its pretty cool, but as art... 

 

but i think based god makes high art... so what do i know.

 

 

This is a highly heated debate that has been going on for as long as graphic design has been around. My opinion (yes I am biased) is that it's art. Old posters in the deco / art nouveau period are collected and shown in galleries. What constitutes art? It's subjective. I was trained in studio art and graphic design. What makes it not art? I'm not trying to grill you, I'm just trying to understand where you are coming from. There's a lot of graphic designers through the years have also had careers in studio art. It's just applying their creativity for different uses. 

 

Now I'm not saying it's ALL art. For instance, a product ad that just shows a bowl of ice cream and says "blue bell, it's 100% natural." is art, but some of it is.... Does that makes sense?
