Let's see your framed pamphlet collection then, if you think that they are art. They take creativity and skill to create, but they are not art.
Is this what it looks like when somebody spend too much time idolizing brands?![]()
Thats the dumbest thing ive read all year.
Do better.
Art doesnt have to be collected and framed to be deemed art.
Graphic Design is literally called an Applied Art as in its an Art that also has a function.
You think Art is only meant to be looked at or some shit?
Fine Arts and Applied Arts are both Arts.
Hell how are you gonna frame the Sistine Chapel?
Do Architects designs get disqualified from being art because the final result is literally a building.
The guy who designs the packaging for fucking Mountain Dew is an Artist and his designs are Artworks.

Lumping Resident Evil in with the rest of that slop is crazy

You're not even talking about the same thing as my original post, you just went off on this weird tangent. I'm not going to get baited into some weird convo outside the scope of the thread to appease your ego.I take it you have no counter point.

I was talking about leaflets being a product and not art. Nobody outside the guy that made the pamphlet is going to look at it and go "man, this is fantastic, look at that spacing and those AI images in the header, great use of white space, hell yea" Same with some video games. Somewhere along the line people have artistic skill and the ability to create, but some games are just mass-appeal wallet extractor simulators, such as sports games with those shitty virtual "card" packs.
That was my point in the original post I made, nobody asked to compare some Mountain Dew cans to the Sistine Chapel or whatever the hell you're on about.
Art is subjective to begin with, so just because you say leaflets are art, it doesn't make it true. You're getting too caught up in the minutia anyways, it's clear what the OP meant when he made the thread. Why aren't you hounding his ass with something like "lock the thread and close the poll OP, by literal definition all videogames are art because people are making texture files bla bla bla"You pointed out that Graphic Design wasnt Art even if its an Applied Art.
Brochures/Leaflets/Informational Posters are Graphic Design.
You then went on to posit that we dont have collections or framed Graphic Design leaflets so that somehow disqualifies them from being Art.
So I counter pointed that not all art needs to be framed or whatever, and gave you examples of other forms of Applied Art.
Your analogy of using a Leaflet as NOT being Art but a product is flawed because Graphic Design is in fact Art, an Applied Art but an Art all the same.
This is a fact not an opinion.

This is a thread asking opinions, so I gave mine. I think some games are art, and some are products.
Video games are nearly immediately accessible for free on phones almost everyone in modern society has.No, art is accessible to the masses, video games are not.
The social aspect of appreciating an artwork is tangible — you go out with someone to a movie, an exhibition, a gallery, you Netflix and chill, you'll reserve a table to enjoy a seasonal three star Michelin course.
None of that happens in video games. It's virtual. It's meaningless.
But they are so damn fucking fun so let them be just this - fun.
It's really the domain of insufferable codgers screaming, "I don't like it, so it ain't art!"This seems like such a 2007 era conversation. Its literally able to replicate anything movies can at this point but with interactivity. Visual novels can mimic books but with interactivity. Not even worthy of further discussion.
The lines become blurred as soon as AI is involved.
By your logic, adult movies can be art.This seems like such a 2007 era conversation. Its literally able to replicate anything movies can at this point but with interactivity. Visual novels can mimic books but with interactivity. Not even worthy of further discussion.
You ate some Pop-Tarts this morning, didn't you?Yes, much in the same way a toaster can be art![]()
I don't know. Just how I feel.Why?
Nah, if something it would be the opposite: the other big ones focus in gameplay AND having high end visuals.I feel like videogames where gameplay is the only real focus (like Nintendo games) are mostly a craft.
Absolutely. Why do you think it can't? Art doesn't automatically imply good or bad.By your logic, adult movies can be art.
