Oh poor graphic design

Oh poor graphic design, handmaiden to business, earnest kid sister to art, propagandist, puppet, the tail wagging the dog. Visual culture in the business world, where most of us reside most of the time, is apolitical and amoral. Reading, class, personal thinking and social ghettos have much more to do with one’s politics. I do also wonder who those mythical “undecided’s” are I certainly don’t know any. My personal fortune has had little to do with who is in the White House, although I’ve spent that last 8 years irritatedly switching the TV station whenever you-know-who is on. It is my hope that the desire machine that is our economy, and of which we a bit players, can retool our culture into sustaining; the planet, a real thought, and human communities of all classes and social ghettos. I am ever the optimist.
