Supports the concept of the graphic author
'The idea that graphic designers could, and would, create their own
histories through their writing, designing, and publishing can be
found throughout the twentieth century. Whether documentary,
reflective, expressive, critical, self-promotional, comparative, or
visionary, designers have harnessed the means of production to
state their views in print—a concept and a practice that parallels
most of the discipline’s growth and maturity.'
Advance ideas through authorship
it
was not until the early to mid-1990s that formal theories about
design authorship emerged.
'Among the tenets posited by design
authorship’s framers were redefining the design process, opening
new avenues for collaboration, building stronger relationships
between visual form and literal content, expanding the space for
personal expression, creating a greater level of social and political
engagement, and finding more opportunities for entrepreneurial
ventures.'
