• Let’s have thirty Graphic Design graduates (not sure how I am lumped in there since I am Computer Science) create thirty posters
• The theme for the posters is “what does Graphic Design mean to me?”

I created a poster with the Kool-Aid man. The effectiveness of the poster is miserable, I discovered, because I was unable to transmit my key concept to the audience (unless everybody bite their tongue).

“Creative integrity” is a term I hear thrown around by graphic designers; and since I am new the scene, it is new to me.  I did not give it too much thought until today when I read it in HOW magazine.

When seeing the words in print, it hit me: what does creative integrity mean?  The word integrity, to simple put it, means someone is moral and ethical or something is intact.  I crossed off the first since creativity is not a person and hence by itself has no morality.  Which leads to, how can creativity be intact, be whole, or in perfect condition?   If creativity can have integrity, then surely we can have imaginative integrity and inspiration integrity. I do not know how you truly measure imagination, inspiration, or creativity—or measure the wholeness. Creativity is simple not concrete enough to have integrity.

Perhaps instead of creative integrity, people mean artistic integrity or the integrity of the design. In either case, the use of the descriptive terms is a better choice.
