The gimlet-eyed design and architecture observer Alice Rawsthorn has written an excellent and well-documented article entitled “With a Big Boost From Technology” in the Arts section of The New York Times, looking at, among other things, the role of technology in the evolution of graphic design and the democratisation of the design process, typography, new media, data visualisation, and reviewing the exhibition “Graphic Design: Now in Production,” (opening Saturday 22 October 2011, at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis [the museum for which April Greiman made the poster shown in the top image]) which explores the evolution of graphic design since the year 2000.
