Two things about capitalism: graphic design is totally bound up with it; and it really has to end. . You won’t hear much debate about this first point, only a dizzying range of views about how capitalism and design relate.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
