Yes, the early cave paintings could be considered graphic design because they are two-dimensional and use symbols. While graphic design often involves commercial purposes and the use of words in printed or published materials, the essence of graphic design lies in expressing meaning visually, which the early cave paintings do.
To determine if the early cave paintings could be considered graphic design, we need to understand what graphic design is. Graphic design is a form of visual communication that uses images, symbols, and/or words to convey a message or express meaning.
The early cave paintings were created by Paleolithic humans thousands of years ago. These paintings were often two-dimensional and used symbols to represent objects, animals, or meanings. Based on this definition, we can argue that the early cave paintings could be considered graphic design because they were created to communicate or express meaning.
However, it is important to note that graphic design, as we commonly understand it today, typically involves commercial purposes such as advertising, branding, or marketing. It often involves the pairing of words and is printed or published. Therefore, if we consider the modern definition of graphic design, the early cave paintings may not fit this criteria.
Ultimately, whether the early cave paintings are considered graphic design can be subjective and depends on the definition and context used.
