too bad that book was written OVER a decade ago! I kid, although the tables have turned and the term graphic design is now a loose shell of what it once was.

i dont think the time it was written makes it any less relevant or applicable.

From an ideological standpoint I disagree w/ the statement but do concur that the timeframe in which it was written has nothing whatsoever to do w/ the validity (or lack thereof) of it’s content. It’s age lends more value to me, not less if I was so inclined to travel that path. It’s all a matter of opinion and I’m boring myself just by typing this..
