What is Graphic Design - Part One, Study task 2


TASK
Using the online resources that you have been introduced to in the lecture studio workshop and with reference to the quotes used in the 'What is Graphic Design - Part 1' Presentation..
  • Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design appearing in different contexts

    Logo Development (SwissAir)
    The simplicity and shape concentrated approach gives the design that everlasting retro effect.


    Event Advertising (MTV MusicStack)
    What makes this design so appealing is the effort and time, spent digitally creating every aspect in such detail.


    Package Design (earBudeez)
    A clever and unique way of packaging.


    Representation (Romeo&Juliet)
    A whole story simplified into 3simple designs.


    T-Shirt design (Hidden Moves)
    They appear to have taken a more unique approach to collaging, as oppose to using different materials, textures and characters in a rugged way. They've succeeded in creating one full character, made of many different elements.
  • Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design performing different functions


  • Entertainment (Kanye West) 
    Combining both typographic design, illustration and motion graphics, into a well stitched music video.



      Decoration/Decals



      Promotion (Absolut Vodka)
      I think Absolut take the prize when it comes to creative advertising, Producing hundreds of different designs for their products, each appealing to a certain audience.


      Propaganda (OBEY)
      Shepard Faireys' controversial piece gained huge publicity, serving his purpose and it's function at the same time, to be noticed.


      Informing an Audience
      A funny but memorable approach to demonstrating gender.

  • Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design produced using different media

       
Food
A creative approach, I love the way it's been edited to the point that there are no flaws in the joining of its limbs.


Painting techniques.
The German illustrator Richt, creates scenic designs that are enjoyable to look at, and leave the audience creating their own story to fit the picture.


Stencil Art.
Once completed a stencil can be quickly sprayed, revealing a huge amount of detail in a matter of minutes, giving your work more publicity than if it was printed on A3.


Collage
I love the vintage style of this poster and the success of its proportions, making the chessboard almost 3D.


Illustration
The upbeat aesthetics of the design make it perfect for its TMG.

  • Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design produced at different scales


    Projection Advertising (Nike)
    Projection advertising can be a very useful and creative tool, appearing at night time, almost forcing people to see their advertisement.


    Carrier Bag (Stop'n'grow)
    Even the carrier bag successfully demonstrates its product, seeing the design for a split second, instantly tells you that its concerned with biting your nails.


    Window Display (Apple)
    Revealed before the release of the new Ipod Nano, creating a stir and excitement among customers, giving the impression that people were so desperate to get the product, that they'd go to the lengths of breaking and entering.


    Business Card (Google)
    A small piece of information that makes a lasting impression.


    A3 Print (Richt)
    What makes this design so appealing is its use of colour, surrounding a dark, detailed character.
  • Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design delivering different types of messages


Humour
Modern, comical remakes of the classical War time posters.




Charity campaign, Give a helping hand.
What makes the campaign so effective, is the uniqueness and creativity of the ad, combining both the 'helping hand' and issue of animals, into one image.


Promotion, using a Simple yet effective style.
Representing the film using its core components.



Controversial (Banksy)
The designs deliever huge messages to the public, for e.g. Let them eat crack, concerns the crack epidemic in the 80's specifically among the impoverished so I'm assuming its about corporate greed.


Fashion, Iconic (Milton Glaser)
