As ever Terry, you miss the point, and you don’t read carefully enough. You even misrepresent Paul Shaw’s account on the origins of the terms 'Graphic Design’ and 'Visual Communication’. Paul Shaw refers to his own work as

And concludes:
> Many of the entries in this rough timeline would not have been discovered if not for modern tools such as Google and its Google Books search functions. Yet, there are still limits to this methodology. Copyright restrictions make it difficult to search publications after 1923 and a surprising number of those from before that date are not accessible online despite having been digitized. Of course, all internet research is limited by what has been both digitized and uploaded. Thus, this survey of the shift from commercial art to graphic art to graphic design to visual communication to information architecture is only a preliminary effort.
I have nothing further to add, except that:
