3 + 1 relating to White

1. A reader or viewer desires consistency, as the human eye is trained from childhood to seek wholeness and unity.

2. Visual designers can follow the example of musical composers such as Beethoven by similarly and effectively using space as a method to capture and hold the listener's attention. In a sense the viewer can be considered a listener.

3. Visual/graphic designers can also follow the example of beautiful and efficient architectural designs, with space being the most important design element for both professions.

Question: Has advancements in computer technology taken away most of the possibilities that individual graphic designers gain respect as true artists and not simply be considered computer experts? For example, in the 1950's Pablo Picasso sometimes painted advertising posters for events such as bull fighting exhibitions. His surviving posters are worth millions. Today, computer graphics do most of this type of work.
