* 1964 argument on how graphic designers have been used and exploited not for the good of society but for money making corporations who've taken advantage of consumerism and skills designers possess.

Allegory of the Cave


Richard started off the lecture with an example of Plato's work and how it can represent almost a parallel representation of our world as we see it. Explaining that the painting contains slaves and their masters inside a cave, these slaves are born and live out their lives within these caves never seeing any daylight only the light from the lanterns that lie above. As a results these slaves live out their lives thinking that the cave is reality and nothing lies beyond, until one day a slave manages to escape out the cave and experiences the real world of how it is. It shows how the masters control the slaves interpretation on reality, which could reflect how social media, news and other forms of news may or may not be true but they control how you perceive the world. If you let it.
