Graphic Design Saves Us

Walking down Green Street across from the Champaign Public Library I found this yard with the "For Sale" sign very amusing. Both of these signs are for the same property for sale and are both visually communicating the message, with the same exact words, but yet look so different as far as style. The sign to the right, farther off in the distance which is an example of graphic design is so much more visually appealing to the viewer than the hand painted one with it's sans serif font and nice crisp lines. This example shows us a slight glimpse of what it would be like without the usefulness of graphic design to display messages.
