Advertisers typically prohibit graphic designers from signing their works because the purpose of a graphic design is to draw attention to an advertised product or service, not the designer. Nonetheless, it is better that graphic designers not remain anonymous. Anonymity undermines effective graphic design by making it difficult to hold designers accountable for their work.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the overall conclusion drawn in the argument?
(A)
Prohibitions against graphic designers' signing their works
are common in advertising. - WRONG. Not covering the scope as it deviates.
(B) In advertising, the purpose of a graphic design is to focus on an advertised product or service rather than on the designer. - WRONG. Already said in the passage.
(C) It is
not desirable that graphic designers remain anonymous. - CORRECT. Best among the lot.
(D) Graphic design is made
less effective by anonymity on the part of graphic designers. - WRONG. Same thing said in passage already.
(E)
Holding graphic designers accountable for their work is
difficult when those designers are anonymous. - WRONG. Says the same thing that passage did but in different words.
Answer C.
