| 'Graphic design grew out of changes
from the 18th century (the dominion framework for
design in general was the increase of mass production
and consumption) based on joint forces of arts,
industry and commerce, and the view that that it
reflects a range of individual designers interpretation
of culture and their own differing vision of expressing
their views' |

| 'In studying and analysing
style through the ages, historians have developed
a system of classification that commonly focuses
on painting, sculpture, architecture, furniture,
and clothing and pays only scant attention to graphic
design. Nevertheless, the advertising, posters,
packaging, and typefaces of period, as well as its
illustrations and cartoons, are equally if not more
indicative of the society in which they were produced.
as mass communication commercial art is often a
synthesis of other arts and technologies, demystified
and made accessible to a broad audience. in fact,
a vermicular graphic style usually indicates popular
acceptance of visual philosophies that were once
inaccessible, avant-garde, or elitist' |

| 'Functionalism
- the notion that objects made to be used should
be simple; honest; and direct; well adapted to their
purpose; bare of ornament; standardized, machine-made,
and reasonably priced; and expressive of their structure
and materials - has defined the course of progressive
design for most of this century' |

into the rich vain of this overlap in search of
colours, motifs, and above all attitude' |
