None. Graphic Design is what the artist wants it to be. So it could be anything.

Graphic design is a form of communication, almost identical to art. The difference is that graphic design is a circuit between a company and consumers. If the consumer can't understand the message in a piece, it's a bad design. Art is subjective because the "artist" conveys an intangible emotion onto a tangible object, but it's not aimed toward anybody in particular or even meant to be understood. It's why so much art has a tendency to look cheap in one person's eyes and a masterpiece to his neighbor.

However, it's not uncommon for a graphic designer's message to me misunderstood as well. The most important thing is to have as many viewers as possible understand it clearly. It's the graphic designer's job (and any kind of commercial designer for that matter) to be the messenger, and when they send the wrong message, they aren't doing their job.

I still see no errors in this. So you have done your job well.
