Often times designers are asked to produce totally unique but efficient designs.
Many clients don’t understand that it is impossible, most “graphic designers” borrow ideas, and very few of them are actually “artists” that can create from scratch.
I agree with Maria Acosta.

There’s one more element of art that I think works against graphic designers:

Artists, in many schools, are taught to avoid the functional. They are scolded when something is functional and told to make it more existential. This conditioning pushes many of these conventionally trained artists into habits that reinforce poor graphic design behavior.

Many talented graphic designers have somehow reprogrammed themselves (or avoided the conditioning in the first place), but I still see it as a force to contend with, especially with the young artists coming into the field.

Hopefully, the drive to create graphic design curriculai, that is separate from traditional art studies, will avoid the conditioning in the first place and create a new focus on functional and useful.
