"Designers make connections to help others understand topics in a more simple and easy way" -Jimmy Moss
As a designer our job is to make connections, persuade people and understand issues so that we can help others understand as well. Our arguments must be supported by facts and our facts must be supported by research and credit given to those who have done the research. If our arguments are not supported by some substantial research and backed up by facts then they are merely just opinions formulated by ourselves and by the people around us. A strong idea or argument when supported by factual information can persuade people to agree with what you believe. In the world of media and advertising this is a constant battle. People are swarmed with advertisements and ideas on a daily basis and the people behind these campaigns intensions are to make you feel a certain way. A great example of this is politics. This year, being an election year it is a persuasion battle by different groups of people trying and make us the public feel a certain way. It's hard to really believe anything you hear in the media because a lot of it isn't backed up by cold hard facts especially in politics.
