So, the question is "How is Graphic Design different from
Fine Art"? Not so easily pigeon-holed, Graphic Design differs
from fine art in that its purpose strays from the act of self-expression
for the sake of self-expression, even though the end result
is still a form of self-expression. It doesn't really seem to
make sense does it? Things become even more complicated when
money enters the equation. But, it is the money, or some other
form of reward, that defines Graphic Design at the root level.
Graphic Designers are paid for their work. They're contracted
to perform a service to a client, to help establish corporate
identities, and to fulfill the needs of a customer. In effect,
because the work that the Graphic Artist performs typically
is representative of the company or business owner that they
serve, they can be considered the front-line unit of any business
or corporation.
