The reading from The Education of a Graphic Designer really struck close to heart because it aligns to a lot of my own ideas about design. Keeping design focused only on design is an erroneous and outdated idea. I know Paul Rand is considered to be a great designer, but it is time we recognize that we are living in a modern age of design. We can no longer keep our eyes blind to other practices. If we are to be effective designers, our knowledge needs to run deeper than purely design. That is not to say that we shouldn't focus mostly on design, but we should at least keep our eyes open to other areas, that would make our design more complete.
"Design should be about meaning, and how meaning can be created."
