Graphic design can exist completley independently of typography and structure, and it always must have an idea. If there is no idea, then there is no intention to communicate, so therefore something is no longer graphic design becuse it has lost what inherently seperates it from 'art'( or whatever you want to call it). This could possilby be called function, but your psuedo-modernist ideals will get only get you to a certain point and therefore are obsolete.

You could brake it all down to filosophy if you want.
Of course you have to have a visual idea. but you have to start somewhere. when you start to build a website, where do you start? with the content. information, text, photographs, illustrations, or a concept. the design can never be the content. it´s the grid that holds the content, the space that is between the content, or words expressed thrue letters, typography.Could you show me an example of graphic design without typography or structure? I´m not saying that to put you down, I am curious.
