    My ability to make this has no influence on whether or not it’s art.

    Just because a graphic designers product is visual does not make it art. Art is worthwhile to loose yourself in, it inspires emotion, it makes you think. Graphic design like this does nothing of the sort.

      The real subtext here is that if you actually tried your hand at it, you would see there is actually some artistic understanding that is required to do good graphic design work.

      Art comes in many forms. I’m sorry you’re so close minded and gatekeep-y about it.

      I don’t know about you, but this graphic inspires emotion in me. That emotion is anger at how little our society values art.

      That said, be careful with that line of thinking. That’s exactly the sort of stuff people say about modern art.
