Images from artstor MY GDES HISTORY REVIEW! Ali DT Q. how does the invention of the internet and the world wide web compare to the invention of the printing press? Q. in a world of computers with fonts, graphic templates of all sorts, and royalty free images, what is the new role of the designer? Q. taking into consideration the text of the First Things First Manifesto, what do you think that are the three biggest challenges that graphic design is facing today? Interpret this! The internet allows for instantaneous dispersal of information. When we grow used to web based design, we disconnect from sizing relationships, what is suitable for print, etc. Physical Nuance is lost Same as it ever was. Yes, anyone can be a designer, but they must practice. There is no getting around it. What are they practicing? Systems. Identity will always be important, and above the grasp of artifical intelligence or laymen Key things with notes in between now what? 1. Unless you actively try otherwise, your designs will be fueling a consumerist society. How do you know what companies are worthy? 2. Where else can we find design aside from advertis- ing? 3. How do we continue being original and embracing design as an art? Has it all been done? Are we doomed to just keep recreating the same things?
