I see graphic design as the organization of information that is semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable.
Massimo Vignelli
He is saying that graphic design organizes information in a way that truthfully presents it to the viewer. The design must also be consistent in the way it is organized so that nothing seems out of place. It must also be practical and easy to digest. This is relevant to what we are doing in class because our series of photos need to express the seasons with images that make sense or are "correct." The system should be consistent so that all of the photos belong together even though they have contrast between them. The story needs to be "pragmatically understandable" so that it doesn't just seem like a series of random photos.
