International Design Reading

It seems interesting to me that the "Graphic Designers" are actually called "Graphic Artists". By looking at the posters that were posted on the website article, there seemed to be a lacking of text on each poster. When the writer talked about how the West has influenced the work of the Iranian graphic designers, it didn't seem to me that there was much of a connection. Much of posters, magazines, etc. seemed very static and dull. There wasn't a whole lot of color used in most of their designs and it was obvious the design's main focus is the art work not the typography.
