Hello
I've just recently joined this forum so I'm just 'getting to grips' with it all, just incase these questions have already been asked I apologise in advance!
I hope you can find the time to answer my questions below as it would be good to get a few answers from people who work within the industry rather than just fellow students... so here goes!
I am currently in my final year of my BA(Hons) in Graphic Design at Sunderland University and as part of our course we have the daunting task of writing a dissertation about a subject we feel strongly about. My dissertation question looks at the term "graphic design" to see if it is a relevant and/or sufficient title to describe what the profession has become?
For my research I have looked as far back as the turn of the century and how graphic design has changed rapidly from the 80's and 90's. I hope you can drop me a few lines and give me your opinions of:
• How do you feel the industry has changed since you first started out, have all the changes been for the better or have we lost something along the way with regards having everything done at the touch of a button?
• Also, what's your views on where you think the industry is heading and what is your personal definition of "graphic design"?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated!
