work+play: Notes from New Views

Laura Chessin's thoughts on the New Views conference:

I was challenged by the view that ‘Graphic Design is in Crisis’. I developed a conviction that graphic design is undergoing an evolution and it is those who operated under previously–accepted assumptions and systems who are in crisis themselves.

I think she's right here, and this is an important way of looking at it. To amend my earlier post, it's not graphic design that's dead, it's the old way of looking at it that should be put to rest.
