This is my first and major interpretation of the essay by Milton Glaser. It is sort of the working title I came up with. “ART SHOULD BE SUJECTIVE, DESIGN SHOULD BE TRUTHFUL.” That’s what I believe Milton is saying. This is also interesting to me because this is a concept I’ve really learned during my time at the University of Edniburgh. My undergraduate degree focused more on fine art and we were always taught the more subjective the better.

When I first got to this graphic design masters program I had trouble taking off my “fine-art-hat” and being less subjective in my designs. But Milton makes it clear in his example of the calorie design on the salad box that design should be truthful. Deceptive design is unethical. I absolutely agree, I just hope with this masters I will be able to have more opportunities in my career so that I can have the option to turn down deceptive design jobs going further.
