Second part
To better investigate the relationship between graphic design and social networks, a research was carried out on Instagram concerning graphic designers with greater visibility and popularity.
Subsequently, nine of them were interviewed, coming from all over the world, with the aim of understanding if indeed that high number of followers and fans has relevance or not in their “real” work. We have seen how social networks, and especially Instagram, exponentially increasing the visibility of their graphic work, lead to a popularity that is poured into everyday life and not only on the web.
