had an interesting discussing with one of my professors.he does not believe in artists..theyre name is just somethin to catalogue them.due to death of the author, there the viewer is king and will define what is art or what not..so if he thinks for instance chris cunningham is a part of art,then it will be so..if he thinks marcel duchamps urinoir is a piece of design it will be so..
art has it roots in commercial aspects..painters and sculpturs where givin assignment..for a great time the name of painter was unkknow but all of a suddeen this was an aura around it..the same with design..for instance the enron logo that rand made..do you need to know that ran made it?no..but due to postmodernism the name of graphic designer has grown more important..and its not anymore ..'did you see that new album cover of new order?'
no,its have you seen the latest work of saville...the endless book out now concerning one designer is an illlustration of this evolution..
