    Ahhhh…I can’t do it!

    I can’t vote. It is almost like a trick question. I feel like it can be art just as much as not. Some is purely functional while others are amazing pieces of art.

    I think this is a rather simple question to answer. Yes, of course it is by it’s very definition:

    The art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to convey information to an audience.

    Case closed.

    Yeah.
    Sure.
    Why not?

    (How do we define Graphic Design? How do we define Art? How philosophical do we want to get on this topic?)

    of course is an art, it requires inspiration, technique, and a lot of hardwork to deliver a clear message…

    my answer is No.a graphic can be art, but when it reaches that, stop beeing graphic design and start being something diferent

    I think the question is getting at attempting to determine if artists are more talented than graphic designers. Depends on who you are comparing!
