Although graphic design is considered a 'low culture' pursuit in general by the fine art world I have attempted to apply their rules to a selection of graphic designers for the purposes of this task.
As a result I would classify this agency as a high-culture because of the subjects they cover and the companies they work for; fashion agencies, arty films ect.

2. Low Culture: Millennia Design
This would be considered a low-culture design studio, working for less prestigious organisations and designing with a lack of originality or cultural recognition.

3. Low Culture: Kurt Volk
A different type of low culture to the one displayed above. This is a strong graphic designer who works on film design most notably for the grind-house films Machete, Death Proof and Planet Terror as well as Sin City and Predators. While these are great designs the subject would be described as low culture.
