"Here lies the paradox of graphic design criticism. To be taken seriously, then, is not to define graphic design as something separate, but to move it beyond the confines of the discipline. 'If you read that rhetoric, it’s very much about founding, establishing, and earning respect,' Twemlow adds, rereading Vignelli’s call for criticism. 'That was an era of wall-building. It’s about the differences between design and art, and design and whatever. I think we’re a long way past that now.'"
— Jarrett Fuller and some quotes from Alice Twemlow, in his piece Design Criticism Is Everywhere—Why Are We Still Looking For It?
