Abstract

Contemporary reality is linked to a set of cognitive contradictions that contradict human thought and its original values, that reality produces exchanges that are difficult to face as future challenges to society and the State, and that prevent the realization of strategic structures in social construction, this lies in the strength of cognitive framing at the global, international and local levels, which necessitated identifying its cognitive contents and how to integrate with graphic design processes in its various dimensions to draw internal and external thought plans and the difficulty of synthesis between them to expose the design to outputs accessible to all individuals, that is, graphic design is not currently limited to the academic only, but it is available for everyone to deal with its tools to produce achievements that may compete with the academic designer cognitively.
