"Graphic Design is the most ubiquitous of all the arts. It responds to needs at once personal and public, embraces concerns both economic and ergonomic, and is informed by many disciplines including art and architecture, philosophy and ethics, literature and language, science and politics and performance...Graphic design is a popular art and a practical art, an applied art and an ancient art. Simply put, it is the art of visualizing ideas. "
