Graphic design, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Ne var, ne yok.
Above: Tracy’s ingenious final GIF, though it was almost impossible to improve on her first (see below). As promised, our GRD_2000 grupetto revisited our first attempts with this format, all seeking to answer the question, “What is Graphic Design?” I think you might agree that the new solutions both improve and extend the original ideas. A thousand thanks for the efforts of these ambitious young students. (Oui, the post title is slightly tongue in cheek. There’s a place in France, where…)

We were inspired by the stunning collection of GIFs on iamnotanartist.org, a part of the Elisava School of Design’s (Barcelona) internet presence. The size 265 x 198 follows their lead, and we hope to add ours to their collection.
