| What is the role of graphic design in this development of new typographic
forms? It seems that graphic design is going to have to take a good hard look at itself
and possibly re-define its parameters. The role of the designer has been simply stated
as the communicator of messages. Designers should consider these new letterforms when
designing a piece so that it may speak to our time and our sensibilities not to some
preconceived notion of what design should look like. Our fall back aesthetic as designers
has been the Bauhaus style and its Modernist credos. These ideas of design and
communication were fine in their time but our time calls for design which expands the
semantic role of graphic communication. |
