The aim of this paper is to try to develop a description of graphic design practice that can
be used to start to investigate if the issues are related to each other. Without research it is
not possible to indicate how relevant the abovementioned issues are and if the examples
are common practice or exceptions. It is part of ongoing research. Initial results were
published in Visible Language (Waarde & Vroombout, 2012). This article develops some
of the arguments and changes the emphasis of some of the issues.
