“Secondo gli stereotipi comuni, la grafica si occupa, in maniera artistica e creativa, di pubblicità e di siti web, al fine di rendere le cose più belle e attraenti. Se ne identifica così il compito anzitutto nel campo della persuasione. Da sempre però – e ben prima della società pubblicitaria – il visual design svolge altri compiti, se non più nobili, spesso più utili: si occupa cioè di spiegare.””
