A Visual Guide To The Language, Applications, and History of Graphic Design

The history of Graphic Design dates back, thousands of years ago. From Renaissance woodblock printshop to modern computer graphics. The art and craft towards understanding graphic design demands acceptance and profound respect.

Freed from constraints and imagination, our modern context between analog and digital, has never been more mixed, with hybrid intentions. To the reader, kindly consider the following argument.

How has the advent of Artificial Intelligence shaped the future of graphic design? Moreover, does AI conscious technology adds value and newness to our evolving 21st Century epoch.

Please inform your “left-wig” niece, (imho-regarding the too pale and stale comment) the following: How would the society exist today, inside tribal Indian lands or are we standing on Modernity landscape victory.

Let us progressively divide the community using equal parts. While academia is birthing with postmodernist angst. Parables and contradictions begin to bring abstraction and subject matter, into a real conservative voice. From “gusto” to power, we move on.

Perhaps, conservative voices may sprung into being, whilst redefining how to understand our current academic landscape. Between the Miaow and Me-To’s, Cancel Me That! and B#t$h Please, is not Your Land. Movements, come and go. In peace, we hope.

“Graphic design has been evolving for more than once hundred years and across three centuries–from its early recognition as commercial art in the late 19th century, to the coinage of the term by W.A Dwiggins in 1922, to its current standing as a visual communication discipline encompassing myriad specialities. Over the decades, the profession has changed thought academic, practical, and technological shifts that have gradually established a series of principles through which graphic design can be taught, understood, categorized, and practiced. Grasping the breadth of terms, definition, techniques, and processes, is essential to understanding graphic design.”

Between 1998-2002, we paraded ourselves along the Greenwich, East Village NYC. Tools of the trade included how to champion our craft. Was an essential ethos between two ferns. I always wondered, how does Serif and Sans-Serif typography, encompasses 90% of all text, ever written.

Bodacious replies, “What about dingbats! are these fonts too?.” Yes indeed, I reply to my dear friend.

When Photoshop was released by Adobe (mid 1980’s) traditional silk screen studios, CMYK printshop’s, letter presses and traditional 2-dimension cell animation. Were not replaced by software technology. Furthermore, any tool is meant to expand our creative wits or “Cojones” as they used to be called, back in the 90’s.

Allowing both democratization and artist originality to take form. Over time the shock of the new, becomes just another fad.

The role of any artist is to transform shape and matter, while interpreting present tense reality. Today, (circa 2025) graphic design no longer requires a paper footprint in able to coexist along side AI.

Computer graphics, AI prompts with sophisticated user generated text to image input. Are beginning to revolutionize how designers think an feel, about our future.

Not to mention smart phone to desktop digital application (AI) systems. Capable to replace the work of millions, down to just a few laborers, service worker and peasant alike.

Begging us to ask one question to our leaders on the hill: Should UBI (universal basic income) be considered by the upcoming 2025 US House of Representatives with Congress to Oval stamp of approval?

Artificial intelligence reduces manual labor, in ways the steam engine replaced the horse. So too, the human hand has been eradicated. Good for business, hell yeah. While the Federal government tries determine how does the laborer accommodate his or herself, properly.

The below social Cut & Paste Gonzo comments, on the subject behind AI. For your conversational thought and “Gusto”. Julie kicked us off with the following query.

“Could we move past the AI can paint like a 4th-rate Van Gogh, write a serviceable college essay, craft a mediocre film score, and slooppily replace a highly-skilled workforce in Hollywood era to the AI is being used to develop rational solutions to mitigate effects of climate change, cure cancer, devising strategies to combat neurodegenerative diseases and finding new and novel ways to remove microplastics from our water supply (among other things) timeline?”

Tron, the original motion animated film. Didn’t replace traditional animators. Much to the dismay behind public sentiment. Artist are equally supposed to embrace, disrupt and adapt. With challenging times, we must begin to ideate for normalization, democratization and values, to swing both ways. Do not, fear artificial intelligence, learn instead. (imho),
