I don’t believe in the myth of design geniuses, working on their own without a community to support and feed them. It’s lazy, and gives the wrong impression about designing. We need more in-depth analysis of certain periods, regions or movements, with different voices, influences, background information. Otherwise it reduces a piece of graphic design to an image, and it’s not that, it’s a process, embedded in a society.
