Description This is another poster that I designed for the first graphic design exhibition ever at my school.

Basically, the idea behind this one is that a lot of fine artists don't consider graphic designers to be legitimate artists. The problem with this logic is that all artwork is designed at some point. I'm relatively sure that Michaelangelo didn't just start chipping away randomly on a block of marble and accidentally created a masterpiece. He planned it! So that would mean that all fine artists are designers of their own work and they follow the same creative process for their sculptures that we do for our magazine spreads.

So if fine artists say that designers aren't really artists, then they're also saying that they aren't real artists as well.

Did you take that photo at the Oakland cemetery?

No, unfortunately I was short on time while I was working on this one so I couldn't go there and take the photo myself. I was lucky enough to fine this one on the Stock Exchange though and it was exactly what I was going to take anyway.
