Kyle Golding defines Graphic Design / Graphic Arts for the OK Gazette

Writer Stephen Kovash asked me to define the difference between Graphic Design and Graphic Arts. I explained it this way:

"Graphic Art and Design are about the form and the message: Graphic Arts favor form first, with message second. The focus is art that also might have a message. Graphic Design is the practical use of Graphic Art. The focus is packaging the message in an attractive manner so the viewer better understands the message."
