The Graphic Thing
What is thingness as it relates to graphic design?
The approach to mental process that things only have meaning when we give them one. The difference between familiar and unfamiliar. Expanding initial functionality of a graphic design object.

How experiences of “things” and “thingness” arise at different stages
or levels in processes of meaning construction.

How does the research article differ from the previous two?
A practice based piece of research instead of a contextually researched piece.

Make print more engaging to create more interest in it given the fact we have been enslaved by digital media. Apply digital theories to print.
