Mentioned in previous blogs, I highlight that society is driven with a cognitive overload of choice. We have too many options and far little desire to choose. In 1989, Mr. Keedy states that,
“Now most graphic designers need results fast; formal and conceptual innovations only slow down commercial accessibility. It is hard for a generation raised in a supposedly “alternative” youth culture, which put every kid from Toledo to Tokyo in the same baggy pants and t-shirt, to believe that relevant forms of expression can even exist outside of pop culture.

What is left of an avant-garde in graphic design isn’t about resistance, cultural critique, or experimenting with meaning. Now the avant-garde only consists of technological mastery: who is using the coolest bit of code or getting the most out of their HTML this week.”
Believe it or not, now, your fashion and “popular” graphical designs will be predicted and produced by AI.
I think the most pivital concept Ive retained from the research is that, perspective is key. It is often hard to keep a positive outlook on AI, when society highlights “potential” bad points on AI. After all, it is basic psychology that negative things are more memorable than positives.
