idPure Magazine Article – Graphic Art In All Its Aspects

This enlightening piece of writing demonstrates the effect of graphic designing in the world today. The author of this article is informing us that the progress of digital technology in the recent years has given graphic designers options and new tools for their work. Even though the author believes that the technology has been quite beneficial for us, he also lists the negative points of the advanced technology in the world of graphic designing. He states that the designer is not the thoughtful designer; rather, a useful replacement of the machine. In addition, he tells us a story once when an applicant visited our school. This applicant asked him if the school was more “pencil” than “computer” and he replied “brains”. With this word, he is trying to say that whatever is produced with the fingers on a piece of paper or on the computer actually originates in the mind. As a result, the author is trying to present to us that no matter what we use, computers, pencils or paint, the idea is always invented in the mind, which is the most valuable thing to take into consideration in graphic designing.
