Graphic Designers Have Always Loved Minimalism. But At What Cost?: In always pushing less is more, we risk losing the diversity of aesthetic experience https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/graphic-designers-have-always-loved-minimalism-but-at-what-cost/

Can we teach graphic design history without chronology? https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/can-we-teach-graphic-design-history-without-chronology/

> A history of graphic design without chronology could decouple the idea of social change from mythical notions of progress. It may offer students ways to situate their work in worlds of meaning, rather than encouraging the imitation of style.
