What is the public sphere? Jugen Habermas states that it is the first of all a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed. Access is guarranteed to all citizens. There is a portion of the public sphere comes into being in every conversation in which private individuals meet to form a public body. Citizens behave as a public body when they confer in an free way about matters of public interest. Today, the media such as television, radio and internet are included in the public sphere.
Another aspect of the public sphere is the importance of 'public opinion'. Public opinion refers a belief that is shared by most people. Public opinion is extremely important to the field of graphic design and other media related fields. The more you are able to understand your audience, the more relevant your work will be.
