		replicatorblog on May 6, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Jony Ive is Not a Graphic Designer I understand that view, but I don't think it's commonly understood that way. There are a lot of prestigious "Graphic Design" programs at colleges, but I've not seen many "Visual Design" ones. I do manage a team of 2 UX designers and 2 GD'ers. The UX team makes our apps work well and the GD team gives them their polish, but there is a lot of overlap between the two. Great article, BTW, very interesting thought experiment.

The courses are generally called Visual Communication Design and tend to have a wider remit than older GD programs. Most of the stuff up this thread is spot on.

Thanks.

Obviously, I'd prefer they mean the same thing ;)
