...In his essay, “Becoming a Writer,” Russell Baker explains the effect that doing something for yourself can have on you. For baker, it wasn’t until his third year in high school that he realized writing wasn’t as much work as he thought. He figured it would be just another year with just another new writing teacher: boring, dull, and burdensome. Baker’s new teacher, Mr. Fleagle, did not prove him wrong by way of forcing his enthusiasm for Macbeth on the students and his constant overuse of the phrase, “Don’t you see?” The class became even drearier when Mr. Fleagle assigned an informal essay with absent-minded topics such as “What I did Over Summer Break.” One such topic, “The Art of Eating Spaghetti,” surprisingly sparked images of vivid memories into Baker’s mind. Before he knew it, Baker wanted to write down his thoughts for his own pleasure. After writing away most of the night, he had no choice but to turn in his less-than- perfect paper he had scribbled out merely for himself and not as a proper essay to turn in for a grade. Baker waited two days before it was time to see his grade for the first time; Mr. Fleagle had held on to his essay to read it to the class. His paper, titled “The Art of Eating Spaghetti,” turned out to be a huge success. The class laughed, not in criticism, but in pure humor and joy. Mr. Fleagle praised the essay by stating that the essay was “the very essence of an essay, don’t you see.” In the end, Mr. Fleagle really was a successful teacher, but more...

...There is a rise in the number of schools teaching design all around the world but there is still a major lacking in the education that they provide. These programs teach their students how to design but forget a very important aspect of being a designer, a curiosity to know more about everything because design is about everything but design. It can obviously be argued that this curiosity cannot be taught. But it can be inculcated by providing education in History, Political Science, Music (as a few examples) that is complimentary to design. If this need is not addressed soon, we will be left with a crop of designers that can create aesthetically great pieces of work but nothing that has real meaning because meaning making is not task that can...

...Deron Millay Art 334 Ingrid Cartwright 22 September 2014 Assignment 4 Essay At it’s very core, graphic design is all about visually communicating ideas. Whether, it be through typography or imagery, one person made this all possible and his name was Johann Gutenberg. Johann Guttenberg was the first man to put all of the ingredients together, specifically the printing press, cast metal type and oil-based inks, to create the first mechanically assisted printed material with moveable type. Moveable type was a method of printing and using movable pieces of hard metal, which would have been pressed into ink and onto the paper. Gutenberg used these “ingredients” to publish the Bible, with is more commonly known now as the “Gutenberg Bible” as shown below. (Eskilson, 2012, 2nd edition)...

...and unrestrained freedom of American design was just as important as the influences on both German design and design around the globe. The American and japan conceptual innovation and visual invention was spread throughout the globe. During the 1980s and 90s the rapid development of electronic and computer technology began to change the process and appearance of design. Overnight these big changes recurred within mail, fax machines and the internet, this all served to further shrink the human community into Marshall Mcluhans global village. Influential People Alan Fletcher is one of the most influential figures in post-war British graphic design. The fusion of the cerebral European tradition with North America’s emerging pop culture in the formulation of his distinct approach made him a pioneer of independent graphic design in Britain during the late 1950s and 1960s. As a founding partner of Pentagram in the 1970s, Fletcher helped to establish a model of combining commercial partnership with creative independence. He also developed some of the most memorable graphic schemes of the era, notably the identities of Reuters and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and made his mark on book design as creative director of Phaidon. Siobhan Keaney After graduating from the LCP, Siobhan Keaney worked briefly for three of London’s most prestigious design companies.

...Essay on “Disney World Signage” and “That Pesky Television Test Pattern” Reading these articles really has shown just how much the Graphic Design field has progressed since the 1900’s. Seeing the process and understanding how effective designs can be and how efficiently signs can be used is so fascinating. Along with the concept of signage as a way of advertising, television had quite an impact on the world of Graphic Design. Walt Disney World is such a magnificent place to see. All the remarkable attractions help a person to escape to a fantasy world where everyone can be a kid again. In 2002 I took my daughter there and even with it being very commercialized, it really felt like we were in another world. Going through Cinderella’s castle, having lunch with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet, and the outstanding lighted parades every night were such memorable moments. The eye catching features all around create an ambience, which people not only need in life, but desire. For instance, all the live characters actually walking around throughout the parks and mingling with children and adults is a great example of the involvement a person will encounter. It is so amazing to think with the right angle, one can capture an individual’s attention and it can be instilled into memory long term. Television is another astounding invention that even though it started out in the 1920’s; by 1930’s there were a few hundred commercially available. The test pattern created was used to...

...Elizabet T. Georgieva Student ID: 200850268 Graphic & Communication Design DESN 2730 Principles of Typography Dr. Paul Wilson The Swiss style sans-serif twins in contemporary design Visual language, communication and design are one of the key players that have a great influence on today’s world. Advertisements, posters, billboards, logos, websites, marketing campaign and etc. all these things are connected with communication and they all convey a certain message directed to society. One of the most powerful tools of visual communication is Typography. At first, some people may consider it as something that is not important but it is proven that typefaces can both attract and disgust readers as well as affect us on a subconscious level. Typography gives the text a certain character and individuality and as Walter Tracy puts it “typography means the process of making the words visually attractive and effective” (Baines and Haslam, 2005). One particular style that has left an enormous mark in the history of typography is the international typographic style and it is still utilised for a lot of contemporary design work. This particular style has its roots formed by the modernist movement that started a few decades before it emerged. The style was later called The International Typographic style because it was mainly built on the use of typography. There are two typefaces that are the big stars of the Swiss style, the so called “Sans Serif Twins”, Univers and Helvetica...

...ESSAY Computer Aided Drafting better known as CAD has revolutionized the engineering world. It simplifies complex 2D drawing processes into virtual form which can easily be corrected at a click of a mouse. By the drawings being completely digitized, it almost eliminates wasted time for travel and mailing projects mainly because the engineer can just simply email the files anywhere around the world. Another advantage is the user can clean up jagged lines by zooming in on the imperfections and join them together. There are so many pluses with CAD such as no more smudges on paper, no fidgeting between drafting tools and extra care isn’t necessary damaging the paper it’s drawn on. The areas of profession it helps are vast, Architects, Mechanical Engineers and of course Graphic Designers. CAD makes it so much easier across the board regardless of the language barrier. Everyone is on the same page because it mainly requires the use of drawings and measurements. When the program first developed, it was an instant overnight success with its capabilities. Today, there isn’t any industry in sight that’s not using it for example: movie companies, car manufacturers, furniture companies and also forensic scientists. Computer-aided design, more commonly referred to as CAD, is the use of computer software, programs, and systems to create two-dimensional (2D) vector-based graphics and three-dimensional (3D) models that are used extensively in the architectural, design, drafting, and...

...Michelle Do Visual Art – Graphic Design Written Task (Tertiary) Teacher – Richard Baldwin Graphic Design Essay (T) Graphic Design during the 20th century has been influenced by four artistic, some also being cultural and philosophical, movements called Futurism, Dada, Surrealism and Modernism. These movements have played a large role in shaping the graphic design industry by bringing different meanings into the art as well as inspiring many artworks today. Out of the four movements, Futurism and Surrealism really stood out to me, and the two designers who were influenced by these movements are Fortunato Depero and A.M. Cassandre. Fortunato Depero (1892 – 1960) was an Italian graphic designer and he was inspired by the Futurism movement. Futurism was an artistic and social movement originated in Italy and it emphasized speed, technology and objects such as cars, planes and the industrial city. Since Fortunato was young, he was introduced and taught to develop different art techniques. He discovered a futurist paper called “Lacerba” in 1913 and was greatly inspired by it, this led to his approach to futurism. His career began as a fine artist, then developed into commercial art and later on in life he became the most successful graphic designer. His works include costume designs for stage productions, different advertising illustrations and as well as artworks he created to promote futurism and himself. He was also known for his cover designs for magazines such as Vanity...
