  • So many crybabies on here.

  • Good God, you people take things too seriously.

    Learn to sarcasm? Seriously? You couldn't sense it? SERIOUSLY?

  • Everyone needs graphic design 20/20 wouldn't have it's fucking fancy graphics or logos without them so this guy needs to get his shit straight

  • @daaynreglian Why doesn't 20/20 do a piece on accountants? Have fun running a business without one. Architects? Engineers? Astrophysicists? Et cetera. The complaint by the graphic designer was just idiotic.

  • he obviously isn't getting paid good enough

  • good old John Stossel...

  • Stossel...who needs a graphic designer? When you have the answer, let me know. ...signed, a graphic designer

  • @lizrizdesign graphic designers have an elastic demand.

    all the hard vocabulary put aside, it means that nobody fucking needs graphic designers.

  • @DeltaForceMember13 u have got to be fucking kidding me. Business wouldn't make shit for money without graphic designers/advertisers (which need graphic designers)

  • hey guise im pro graphic designer i use only comic sans type face font in all my designs hire me im sure to make ulots money okayy cooooooooooooooooool

  • noob

  • #3 wasn't even a "design mistake that Americans make." Bite me, Stossel. You want to know what the world would look like if there weren't graphic designers?

  • Don't know why anyone would actually be offended. It was a "tongue in cheek" remark. He wasn't poking fun at Graphic Design directly, just the comment. Considering 20/20 deals with investigative news, why would they be a source for Graphic Design? Seemed like a inappropriate suggestion.

  • How stupid they can be "Can't save the life of a man because he got - Police -Protection" How stupids-Stupidest Those people can be - (Their mentality don't make even sense) I grew-up there and now looking back it's just plain - "Ridicules"

    Those - ISRAELIS/RUSSIANS/CHABADNICS - Pushers / Choutspanimm/ "MANIPULATING" - Make me sick to my stomach!

  • John please spare. Like your job is all that important in the first place all you do is sit behind a desk and read a teleprompter while making thosands of dollars off it.

  • John Stossel is a douch...king douch.

  • Great video!  Set up your ecommerce business for free with our Easy Help Zen Cart Tutorials:

  • Don't take this man seriously folks, these are just a few of the things John Stossel spews out of his ass.

    1. Global warming doesn't exist

    2. Organic food is full of diseases

    3. AIDS research gets too much funding

    4. Used unrelated donated funds to fund his own propaganda campaign in the classrooms to advocate his opinions.

    5. Writes most of his stories before interviewing anyone.

    John Stossel is just a useless shitball that some people like the smell of.

  • "Don't Use Comic Sans"? Thanks for that life-saving advice. LIKE I NEED SOMEBODY TO TELL ME COMIC SANS IS AN UGLY FONT!

    I've never been to "design school" and even I know that!

  • Now, Stossel is a right wing tool on Faux News.

  • Awesome video. cant believe i missed this one!

  • He hates graphic design because at his local gym the guy that gets all the girls and laughs at his small penis in the locker room is a graphic designer.

  • stupid

  • I wish they would have included GD classes in there new 20/20 show on stupid americans.

  • Love reading all the pissed off GD student's comments just because nobody cares about their field.

  • Oh ignorance.

  • This is hilarious. Graphic design is one of those things: who know what we don't like but we don't necessarily know what we like.

  • gambling and free-speech?

  • HAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • dat stache

  • love john!!!

  • LOL comic sans!!. soooo reminds me of my GD teacher who i bet harassed 20/20 to make this....

    well...at least i'll just pretend she did....... cuz rite now have it deep within' my mind that that bitch had been blown off for once in her life.

  • whos paul

  • Awesome.

  • So why was Comic Sans invented anyway?

  • @MishuTaste Comic Sans was invented as a joke, it's not even meant to be used for children target audiences

  • @idkgawd Your right it is a joke!! It has the word comic in it. I dislike it very much. Some people use it to try and look creative, mainly admin workers in microsoft word.

    Bllllahhhhh LOL

  • God he's handsome!

  • Comment removed

  • I wish another wrestler would slap this bitch's mustache off.

  • okay, u ready for it? this has nothing to do with graphical design. This is a subliminal message: Paul Rand; Rand Paul. son of Ron paul... his fav candidate, and mine as well. this is amazing!!!!! (Well my fav is ron paul, but rand would be second to that)

  • skip to :55

  • great review

    NAT.

  • you know why this is funny because he's sitting smack in the middle of something that is designed and than he's insulting it thinking it has nothing to do with him. Remember the devil wears prada when Andy gets schooled by Miranda about how she thinks she's separate from fashion. That's stossel.

  • There has to be a story on why he hates graphic artists so much....maybe he lost his first love to a more charming graphic artist or he tried to become a graphic artist and realized it was too hard so he decided to quit and just stick to reading stuff off of a moving tv screen...sounds a lot easier not as much work

  • oh no, I don't know who paul rand is, i took a college course on graphic design, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh!

  • graphic design is the most essential thing in the economy you douche!

    If it looks shitty and doesn't look appealing, no one will buy it. No profit, no economy you fuck!

  • Excellent overview of graphic design

  • lol@graphic design. dumb shit.

  • What a cunt. 

  • Stossel, you asshole

  • I'm a graphic design student and I find it freakin funny but yet a little offended go figure

  • i have a better mustache then everyone soooo hahahahah america

  • I stopped using Comic Sans in 9th grade. Now I strictly adhere to Georgia font. It's just better.

  • LMAO!

  • ha ha haa hah!!

  • PFFT. 

  • Epic Win!

  • John Stossel is a racist.

  • @grenadianmed John Stossel is a racist, huh?

    You realize that the more you Lefties say that, the more retarded you look to normal people, right?

    I guess not, because you're looking more retarded daily.

  • @beepandbop Your mom is a whore.

  • @grenadianmed it's ok, tell me how you really feel.

  • @beepandbop Grenadianmed is a lefty, huh?

    You realize that the more you Conservatives say that, the more retarded you look to more people, right?

    I guess not, because you're looking more retarded daily.

  • @Kurasuke you need to relax.

    And this will probably deflate what there is of your mind, but I'm not a conservative.

  • @beepandbop I wasn't mad or anything. I just thought what you wrote was thoughtless and reflected poorly on you as a person. Sorry that I got your political affiliations wrong. Your statement was just as thoughtless as the one you responded to with added condescension and bigotry.

  • lololololololol stossel's a bad ass.

    Graphic design is even badass....er?

    haha

  • The sarcasm is strong young master stossel

  • This was a terrific video. I lol'd

    *thumbsup*

  • LOL it cracks me up when people advertise "Custom Logo Design".

    If your a graphic designer... please dont recycle your logos.

  • If the Bible was written in Comic Sans, would you read it?

  • @bustindustin01 It never would be. Comic Sans is the devil.

  • fucking LOL'D

  • Do not assume it doesn't work, before you even tried.

  • John Stossel is an ass. I'm glad he's no longer on 20/20.

  • Good video!

  • im guessing this is a joke.....but still what a faggot

  • fuck uuuuuuu,, and poul rand is the best ever hahahaha

  • I love Comic Sans!

  • fuck you if u do!

  • i dont understand the point of the video

  • haha so true!

    never use comic sans

  • Graphic design sells a product. Just compare the box art to Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Indie Games. This was discussed on the xna forums.

    Most indie developers think their games will sell without needing great visual marketing material. Even if their games are amazing people judge them by the box art. Don't skimp on this part.

  • True... Likewise, however, if you boxed the next big COD or Halo game you could put it in a crackerjack box and it wouldn't kill their sales. Personally though, I think a high school student could make box art (ultimately selling the product) as well as a college graduate as long as it followed some simple rules (no comic sans, use bright colors, whatever). It would not change sales significantly. Just an opinion.

  • @Clyaton

    Yeah, it's not much the case for established franchises but only unknown indie games. The box art thread in the xna forums had the artists critique their box art before going gold and some made big improvements.

    The most common mistake of indie titles I saw was that the title text was too small to be read in the normal thumbnail format, and most people won't bother to look at the full size version.

  • Hilarious.

  • lololol comic sans

  • graphic design is critical to my well-being?

  • Comment removed

  • "Never use this font." --> Comic Sans.

    That is so true, using that typeface is like the biggest blasphemy in GD

  • @ Abbeyhilary OMG, spawned from capitalism??? Learn your art history. Graphic design dates back to Mesopotamia. Simply put, GD is the combination of symbols, images and words to communicate an idea. It can be used in many ways, but it is not tied to any one system.

    And John, brilliant, just brilliant :D

  • Wait what?..........

  • @dunstun, nope, graphic design spawned out of capitalism.

  • To create a logo a designer has to maybe draw a dozen different designs before the final logo is chosen.

  • @dunstun365 maybe like a dozen dozen.

  • If it wasnt for graphic design, capitalism wouldnt exist.

  • lalaland-studios if anyones in the market for a corporate branding company , they did my company logo...just had to mention it!!!

  • What is this ???

  • FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!!

    take that, Jessica Helfin!!!

  • John Stossel is the Baskerville italic of the reporting world.

  • was he being serious? bc i kind of watched this and thought it was a joke. i dont know

  • It's good GD doesn't get a lot of coverage because actually, the fewer who know about graphic design, the better it works.

  • not really...design isn't tricking people, it's just designing things in the best and most functional way..

  • if you think GD isn't tricking people than you are the most tricked of them all haha

  • @planetdarwin damn thats some the illest shit ive heard in a while. I hear alot of shit.

  • Does Graphic design go both with game design and movies? I'm really sure it does, but I just want to know from someone who is studying graphic design.

  • Comment removed

  • You have no clue what you are talking about. Using type is a key part of design, but there is much, much, more to it that apparently you still have yet to learn. It actually is used in video games and movies. All video games have some sort of user interface. Interface design is just one of many uses of graphic design. Movies generally do not use too much design, but it is evident in intro scenes such as those from the James Bond movies.

  • Tell that to art directors :D

  • His mustache is poor graphic design.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH YESSSS!!!!

  • LMFAO

    word

  • freaking hilarious!

  • @StupidNamed Stozzel is an old channel 7 bitch, now he thinks he's a Fox news wiseass, whining about everything and everyone. Doesn't have an idea worth shit in that empty mask behind the stash. He deserves to be inside the Japanese reactor, his face melting away....live streaming on Fox of course.

  • condescending prick.

  • Haha it's funny, I'm a G.D. Major, I get it but just have to say that G.D. is everywhere you look in this world, just people don't think about it

  • is G.D a good career becuse i want to be one

  • stuupid. jesus i would love to see a story on some designers.

  • He's right  :)

  • Maybe a little graphic design is need sometimes since John Stossel seems to be an over-grown Oompa-Loompa in this video.

  • Haha. hilarious!

  • lol! i'm a graphic designer. i get it.

  • he pizzed lol

  • I didnt get it.. was it ironic?

  • Just Stossel being a dick. lol.

  • Bla bla bla...

  • that was a jerk move xD

  • I'm a graphic designer and all I know is that - this piece is great!!! John Stossel is the man.

  • Wow. What an asshole. I think I like John Stossel even more now.

  • yes!

  • @sniper6081 This video is the reason I love Stossel. :D

  • HELP! For 5 years, I wanted to be an architect but after work experience I found it quite solid.. What subjects do you need for graphic design in A level??? I need this quite soon(before my school starts in september) or I'll have to be an architect lol...

  • just need to a c in somthing like art or production design to do it at my school but it might be different becasue all schools are x

  • verdictisguilty: sign up for core classes, english math etc. get that shit out of the way. regardless of what major you pick later that will be out of the way

  • i study graphic design and couldnt even get a job fuck graphic design and when i do get a job they pay like shit i mean wtf kids dont go to school it sucks

  • longdickandwhat: lol I dropped out my senior year from burnout of portfolio.. reworking and coming up with 12 projects that all went with a theme. i'm not sure spending the last 5 years of playing world of warcraft after school helped me much :( that's a tough field to get into

  • wtf is that all about hahaha, but seriously great video heheh

  • burn

  • lawl

    i like JS

  • Tarado

  • what...?

  • ...people that dont have a art point of view would never understand graphic design. if it grabs your attention its doing its job.

  • Haha, this is great. If you don't understand why, dont worry. You're like the other 90% of society.

  • Comment removed

  • Hahaha, wtf was that?

  • he's so arrogant. I liked when the wrestler slapped him down lol

  • aw mane i wanna see that, is there a link somwhere?lol

  • Youtube "David Shultz" its the old looking video.

  • There are two types of people in the world, graphic designers and people who need graphic designers (coincidentally these are the same people that use Microsoft Paint, Word and Kinkos in their graphic endeavors).

  • Inside graphic design, you find the development of type, the development of written language. Without which, we wouldn't have...

  • How on earth do get paid to draw a dot with "a b c" written on it?

  • I finally understand why people think they can design their own stuff...because they don't think it's worth paying for it. Wow...I've always wondered why small business owners (and even some big businesses) design their own signs and logos etc. and they end up looking cheap and tacky...but it's because they don't see any value in it in the first place...which never really occured to me before. I was pretty naiive.

  • The only reson why i'm against it is because that's one of the jobmarkets i'm looking into, and if i get beat out by a dot i'm not going to be happy... o well i'm just desigh some animal to go on a ceral box

  • ur an idiot

  • i'm sorry, but i can think of so many creative way's to write the letters A B C and they choose the dot! i mean, come on the little 4 is more creative than that

  • A logo is the Identity of a company or product. The dot with the typeface they used is exactly what they wanted to portray for their company. It works well as a watermark on the television screen, it's soft undercase yet bold and solid. There are many things that go into even the most simple of design that people such as yourself don't realize effect their perception. And that's why we get paid for what we do, because you don't even understand why it makes you feel or act the way it does.

  • @tsarock: One of the most common sayings in graphic design:" Keep it simple, stupid." (abr. KISS)

  • But it's a dot!

  • Its a simplistic design that was inspired by the Bauhuas. Breaking down the design to its simplest form, so it is functional and universal.

    There is subtle design aspects to it. The circle is repeated in the letterforms, which all echo the circular shape, and the remaining space is perfectly balanced between the letterforms and the black space above and below ABC.

    Its simple, easy to read, and an instant icon.

  • He is totally right in implying that graphic design is of SOOO little importance. It really is. It's now time for computer users stop being fancy and start being functional. And yes, I have a BA in Interactive Digital Design.

  • It doesn't matter what branch of design you're in...DESIGN means clarity of communication and communication will always be paramount in all cultures. So, I think to say graphic design is of little importance means you don't know what graphic design is.

  • You are using the term "design" in such broad manner that your explanation just begs for reinterpretability. "Clarity of communication" refers to structure, as in the structure of a sentence or computer program. Perhaps it was I who used the term "design" in a blanket fashion to dismiss it as a whole, but I was merely referring to graphic design in its most front-end occurrences, which is the type of design stossel was reporting. I stand behind my claim, and hope I have clarified it for you.

  • What if the reason you're not functional is because you went to school to learn how to work?
