It was an interesting subject to read; thank you for sharing.
Do you agree with this is the web interface design, not graphic design? There is a UX/UI degree in universities because they think UX/UI is different from graphic design. I always believe that “Designer” is an ambiguous occupation. Society has created and determined conditions for Design to exist. The parameters keep changing with the times. Design is a moving subject. It always changes direction with changes in cultures, technologies, economies, politics etc. It’s evolving with the consciousness of our needs and wants. As technologies and services improve, so does design.
Graphic design may be a ramification of Design so as UX/UI design.
