A better alternative to futura would probably be Frutiger. It is a clean typeface with the same modern feel as futura but without the overuse. It's legibility is also higher do to the large x-height.
I chose this article because of the title. Yes graphic design has made me cry. When I first related this to myself, I mostly though of crying because of frustration that is so inevitably created by the high demand and workload of being a regular college student. Then, after reading the article, I actually thought about the author's point. Beautiful design that has a powerful meaning and impact. I think, for me, movie posters are really the only type of graphic design that moves me. Some times book covers can move me or create feeling. I have been shocked by billboards and ads, but I have never been moved to cry.
I think someone could potentially design something that would affect me so deeply that I cry, but as of yet...I have not found it.
