She is trying to focus young African or African American graphic designers to draw on their cultural influences rather than to emulate the established main stream aesthetic. She has highlighted quite poignantly the pitfalls for African cultural groups within the design industry. Her belief that by not embracing and intermingling the culture of African and African Americans within design we have lost a style aspects which would benefit the industry as a whole, and that African and African American have inadvertently done themselves a disservice as by adopting the main stream norm they feel under confident with what they have to offer.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6GlW6vm1fnV3hv951CFBPh5WMamWJFhdB7p-OyMrFhxptLLmviX0bT_gGqez75aaGKzURC9IKmhuSwf0AIc2P__RHYxdsWzzgcj5Te4k7IjZ1Noab062owHwJxSdsI3WnVopbdGaEzE/s1600/3260812369_d9cfb84064_o.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6GlW6vm1fnV3hv951CFBPh5WMamWJFhdB7p-OyMrFhxptLLmviX0bT_gGqez75aaGKzURC9IKmhuSwf0AIc2P__RHYxdsWzzgcj5Te4k7IjZ1Noab062owHwJxSdsI3WnVopbdGaEzE/s320/3260812369_d9cfb84064_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472926086754063074" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 232px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV02OJJKJvttRa74zM0VBy3QiQ65od2WBEXTeu11ahOnIaXR5x4Yi2zlZ0s8kg05CbhRmsCeEet0oW0AHErzy9wLSTigbrwY1Ne-OLN2iOuumWyVYzZ5-AMaBb2SoWIRcW9_Dr7Xsh99Y/s1600/weary-blues.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV02OJJKJvttRa74zM0VBy3QiQ65od2WBEXTeu11ahOnIaXR5x4Yi2zlZ0s8kg05CbhRmsCeEet0oW0AHErzy9wLSTigbrwY1Ne-OLN2iOuumWyVYzZ5-AMaBb2SoWIRcW9_Dr7Xsh99Y/s320/weary-blues.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472926082265270530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 320px; " /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">She has also made it obvious that she believes it is because of the industry that culturally this group of new designers did not have any other option if the where to succeed in the profession. Her spirited words highlights that people from this culture are now starting to have more confidence and belief in their heritage is allowing them to showcase their culture in their work but this confidence is something which needs to spread through the African and American African design community before their input will be truly recognized and fully appreciated.

To me the most obvious of these comes through the screaming colours as well as some of the abstract geometric almost symbol representation of people and places, and how these inspirations in turn came round full circle as 1920’s American Jazz culture saw a revival of cubist aesthetics through African art.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXK74xqY3WQExAc_pp3MN5xzB2bwsdEB2Y6c7zmSatunyrmRLPJpGS7ZE6Dy0BVkEeygmhmfjmHwWLubGiw2os2aequweIQTV6JTrUyVizoPncYWJg8s6mYKC_R2-e7alKMlzgGmJXF9Y/s1600/gallery_photo.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXK74xqY3WQExAc_pp3MN5xzB2bwsdEB2Y6c7zmSatunyrmRLPJpGS7ZE6Dy0BVkEeygmhmfjmHwWLubGiw2os2aequweIQTV6JTrUyVizoPncYWJg8s6mYKC_R2-e7alKMlzgGmJXF9Y/s320/gallery_photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472918802574487778" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivN2JLac7LyASA8W7_jeX3rLtlAgQfZKgw_xbbKndDYoQKEHdCBfIQq1g-k5VIPs-wfooirCeDTW6jXR1fGoVEqf5VbE-JjBKzxFBFillHExbSJVb1BYmYsEv-wbs-JhI2xopIJwm9dn4/s1600/africamer.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivN2JLac7LyASA8W7_jeX3rLtlAgQfZKgw_xbbKndDYoQKEHdCBfIQq1g-k5VIPs-wfooirCeDTW6jXR1fGoVEqf5VbE-JjBKzxFBFillHExbSJVb1BYmYsEv-wbs-JhI2xopIJwm9dn4/s320/africamer.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472918799514256546" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksujtdmRmhipIlb_UtxffVAsuUDCxrCsy8oHw1DV-SjWN6GYNzx_MOPiillzEyzHsKr6V41ta6m7FNCZb2DVOd7brMUa7Tu1mRzWz9MvjxHiPU39W70GB6GbnPuhwkzUvF_IBCTJ0TYI/s1600/5+Jazz+Drawing(6).jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksujtdmRmhipIlb_UtxffVAsuUDCxrCsy8oHw1DV-SjWN6GYNzx_MOPiillzEyzHsKr6V41ta6m7FNCZb2DVOd7brMUa7Tu1mRzWz9MvjxHiPU39W70GB6GbnPuhwkzUvF_IBCTJ0TYI/s320/5+Jazz+Drawing(6).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472918796264109170" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">(examples of Harlem Art, 1920's)</span></span></div><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Jazz over this decade had become the stylish word. It started as a style of music for African American people of the time. This style in one word I’d say “energy”, it was a fresh expressive style built on confidence that was both Black inspired and owned. This energy spread outwards across all communication media resulting in a buzz of new publications; these were often produced at Black owned and localized printing presses in order to produce a true reflection of African-American culture as the racist attitudes of society at that time greatly hindered. This freedom in self-expression resulted in a whole array of art, graphics, literature and music dedicated to the energy of African culture. Over this decade Harris depicts a scene of blurred professions and experimentation, and tells that from this came the magazine “Fire!!” designed to quench the thirst of the Anti-Victorianism at the time. Aaron Douglas Covered for this quarterly magazine and through it produced some of the most iconic graphics of the Jazz era.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 255); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiilo9LJiDMWULcYLxNLFo7bOaJvDx4X_v8agCTeYhyNpGwL-UeNC0-CzG3JNl2JZdQJuHDdqQZQouBJDbHsruV06nndCh2xTGN1J5UGRXX7pozctTXJu5nhU04XabIstz1d5hxHL9TFNc/s320/fire.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472919540058124786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px; " /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Harris talks about the confidence and energy of Jazz and how the same ideals could be used to fuel the designers of today and also makes points on the importance of being able to link your inspiration to your heritage. I believe this to be a fundamental factor in realizing yourself as an individual just as much as understanding yourself as a designer. This is in part why I don’t agree with Harris talks of the art phenomenon “Cultural Hybridity” as being an element that would squash imaginations of African American designers. To me the ideas of “Cultural Hybridity” are those of collaboration for all ethnicities and an equal foot holding for all but this could only be truely achieved if we honor all creatives from any generation and ethnicity.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 255); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaOdy_YMr5jhe8sPbiEnkSgut5LdcMEWZK5K04HsUdxQk-IsyRxvcP7th-W58FxA-ExsNHAH6LfUgqzOA1DEDGc-sJ9NoWdbiZX8gVgX3ehoOQ9hVla2_lvlLWZRyS8Ipg2rx3ErpAV8/s1600/rg+25.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaOdy_YMr5jhe8sPbiEnkSgut5LdcMEWZK5K04HsUdxQk-IsyRxvcP7th-W58FxA-ExsNHAH6LfUgqzOA1DEDGc-sJ9NoWdbiZX8gVgX3ehoOQ9hVla2_lvlLWZRyS8Ipg2rx3ErpAV8/s320/rg+25.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472922271243858546" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 320px; " /></a></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 255); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmFD7tf76rcqlMstbph5VM2BxfHfhBMQgdsjn8DuVpgeCEf6ob_en1M50uWBgDwyhWtgyAtX2o9cHxlluFsVxRiY85y-rKbWexYEiyDpb47shbV5bc9ZUnNsxxv8Xq90EBSvIWq7ML_Sg/s320/david-carson-ray-gun1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472920750112687810" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px; " /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">An interesting point of irony and some what shocking situation cited in Harris’ text comes from the statement that in the early 90’s Arthur Jaffa an established filmmaker, at the first ever Organisation of Black Designers (OBD) Conference named David Carson’s “Gun Ray” Magazine as offering the best example of “jazz aesthetics”. This seemed to be a clear example of how white designers and the industry have utilized African and African-American culture with certain design styles. Inspiration from black culture and the position of white designers such as Keith Haring along with white influences running the western design industry were able to successfully market and in some opinions exploit some key style features of black tradition.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheiO9Eesfn9296nyc_8wvFz2a1K7nrcKThhURbKJNI5i2xC_GcU-yYJhi1M2afTztgPjS9OmoycgsPHWW6s9lVFOhkr69c7ldI55oJdLDW-C1Lj-U5pXpnpfYAmmxKaFHo351q2FTX69w/s1600/h-keith-haring-pisa-mural.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheiO9Eesfn9296nyc_8wvFz2a1K7nrcKThhURbKJNI5i2xC_GcU-yYJhi1M2afTztgPjS9OmoycgsPHWW6s9lVFOhkr69c7ldI55oJdLDW-C1Lj-U5pXpnpfYAmmxKaFHo351q2FTX69w/s320/h-keith-haring-pisa-mural.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472921185268872658" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX1V8l_QE4f70oagmRvNyHM5Jj8Lb-Qvohy5wyU2ATPz2o7x2INnmCIjOJZx4uYHxj2rqV-yBOvB_uOeCyWpjAg63qKdU0byVeRGyXHZ-NS6G4T_0du_3DjgwvDpcad8e5f9y3T8CQj8Y/s1600/editions86_p81.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX1V8l_QE4f70oagmRvNyHM5Jj8Lb-Qvohy5wyU2ATPz2o7x2INnmCIjOJZx4uYHxj2rqV-yBOvB_uOeCyWpjAg63qKdU0byVeRGyXHZ-NS6G4T_0du_3DjgwvDpcad8e5f9y3T8CQj8Y/s320/editions86_p81.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472921181377502050" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXfmINPpUraRIzkOUKvjN2dftgiDxeKR5dOdSZJkClKSptTM-hBqkOhzLebqcOvPdqsMbQXlmjkm6S1Fe-vOhGvJ_HprUUZ9P2MAcgk2TZiRxYogjkbtMEXH0m4tWN2VutcL1Zfyye7U/s1600/Haring+art.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXfmINPpUraRIzkOUKvjN2dftgiDxeKR5dOdSZJkClKSptTM-hBqkOhzLebqcOvPdqsMbQXlmjkm6S1Fe-vOhGvJ_HprUUZ9P2MAcgk2TZiRxYogjkbtMEXH0m4tWN2VutcL1Zfyye7U/s320/Haring+art.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472921177615103154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 320px; " /></a><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">(Examples of Keith Haring)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Harris concludes the piece on an aspiration note giving us examples of black designers still working solely for black audiences and incorporating African style and expression, and that in doing so are keeping a long line of design tradition most of which if not realized by now is yet to be discovered. This is where we are left with the reminder that every morsel of information we’ve been given is exactly that. The whole piece down to the last paragraph is designed to ignite curiosity mainly amongst African American’s and any budding black designer but also to anyone who would seek the truth of the history behind their vocation, and offers the starting points for us to initiate our own fact finding missions in the hope that one day true recognition will be made to the black design society for their contribution to the arts and media since the beginning of the 20</span></span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet

When i arrived i was ushered through some of the studio and production spaces immediately helping me feel at home with familiar smells of workshop equipment and activities. I also discovered that Val had actually been producing and even designing a couple of the T-shirts for a Manchester alternative cloths shop I had been buying from for over ten years. It was nice to be able to put a face to the product.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZx-Fmfa3-o4Eq4Wrbm1M4iyaN38qpaTYttqla6SAD-D-I5vIvnvMsrd2tGfV7kdlvmzDOkELyEHIvyATqvqHmT1J6K_Dcpl8xeyri6I8Tg7XnbdMt_jgCE_Qwa7Cc2zyKzkIwAYt3e0o/s1600/studio.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZx-Fmfa3-o4Eq4Wrbm1M4iyaN38qpaTYttqla6SAD-D-I5vIvnvMsrd2tGfV7kdlvmzDOkELyEHIvyATqvqHmT1J6K_Dcpl8xeyri6I8Tg7XnbdMt_jgCE_Qwa7Cc2zyKzkIwAYt3e0o/s400/studio.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468511632143781442" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Looking through my portfolio Vernon was impressed and thought it held a good use of space and after an hour long discussion offered me the opportunity to test prink any designs i'd like to apply to T-shirts in the future.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHEG5es8z-XivgDcubiCI_zqUqY5MtmQb97Dy7pwiuwRvikiOmj4a8USPNgF2r4dQFCjHfbAgHmaXqLJs-YFwLhD5DY85po8M7tVv9YboPRcLuGOJohrn18aFuMm81_EABbyxpnbUmGo/s1600/me-%5B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHEG5es8z-XivgDcubiCI_zqUqY5MtmQb97Dy7pwiuwRvikiOmj4a8USPNgF2r4dQFCjHfbAgHmaXqLJs-YFwLhD5DY85po8M7tVv9YboPRcLuGOJohrn18aFuMm81_EABbyxpnbUmGo/s200/me-%5B.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468511080174240978" /></a><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The advise Vernon offered me is poignant to any budding designer I should think, that was to keep on top of the latest software and anything that is designed to make our jobs/life easier.

Inspired by human emotion and the colours themselves I named each album accordingly as the blue “Deep”, the green as “Centred” and the red a “Passion”. Although a little pretentious sounding I thought they summed up what I was trying to convey and also ran nicely as a sentence as opposed to individual titles. I also decided to place a version of the logo over the record sleeves. I though that it would give a continuity to have the albums connected together as one when of the cover also discretely representing the differences in people coming from and back (and their emotions) to the same point visually tying the ideas together.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDzb6P7HovPALF8hHpARj3SB8SXKBJKrlNJ1HRO4ocjrInXLf4joJy3x53fknZY5CG6ouOQVVsVe2asl-N8KwBBr2-d7Lic1yLcvBI1Ri5l7TRbF6B-3yvzQpTh63Vx3j8GVoeO66Ny8U/s1600/3recs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDzb6P7HovPALF8hHpARj3SB8SXKBJKrlNJ1HRO4ocjrInXLf4joJy3x53fknZY5CG6ouOQVVsVe2asl-N8KwBBr2-d7Lic1yLcvBI1Ri5l7TRbF6B-3yvzQpTh63Vx3j8GVoeO66Ny8U/s320/3recs.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467235767959836178" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipcBYgaFeAD1PEBNPSkuzn0lgObKyy076qUWkgmA602dRWex1780y5P0VbzYzdCzS9Vn6cclHKVp0TX-Dmc35CfUOMPXO6DFuTdKRF5hKq2vrHf4ifsxFBnRBpoB5LH6yMOY_XH2_MQ7s/s1600/DSCF9370.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipcBYgaFeAD1PEBNPSkuzn0lgObKyy076qUWkgmA602dRWex1780y5P0VbzYzdCzS9Vn6cclHKVp0TX-Dmc35CfUOMPXO6DFuTdKRF5hKq2vrHf4ifsxFBnRBpoB5LH6yMOY_XH2_MQ7s/s320/DSCF9370.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467235505358468802" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><!--StartFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Using the record covers as the basis of design I created a cover for the compilation.

They’re an organic drinks company and boast about their ingredients’ having no added sugar and being one of your five a day. Below is a breakdown of the different elements that make up this logo and their connotations.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Colour -</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In this example the signifier is the colour green, but is always an organic colour/shade across their product line. This isn’t only a direct connection to the flavour of the drink but also acts as the signified with its connotations of being fresh and organic. </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Another signifier that reinforces that idea/or ‘sign’ of the product being organic is the grainy texture you can see within the colour.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Shape -</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Now here the overall shape being the signifier I can see how it splits into two clear ideas to be signified. The first being that of a slice of fruit the outer ring acting as the skin, although not all fruit used would be this shape it is still an obvious connection. The connotations that come through are that of our own planet. This brings the sign of being organic like the other signs so far but also on some level of ethical conscience you would expect the company to hold.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Text -</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The first impressions of this soft and organic typeface stets a relaxed tone. Here if you look at the way the font is placed around the logo, this seems to possibly signify a sunrise, and this along with one of the most obvious signifier of the small touch in the ‘g’ give signs of well being and wholesomeness. I think the lettering at the top of the logo is a nice extra touch as well as it sits on the top as though on top of the world just adding to that feel good factor and sense of well-being.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Image - </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span></span>The image in the centre holds the most obvious connotations of wellbeing as we immediately associate this position with meditation and self-awareness. The added little signifiers of jazz hands over the figures knees ads a fun element to an otherwise serious or self important exercise, this would signify the company taking a more joyful and light hearted approach to the ideas of well-being.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -72pt; "><span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Overall “the feelgood co” have pulled many different element together to fill your conscious as well as subconscious with a number of light hearted and organic connotations. These work together to form a visually busy but very effective sign as their logo. </span></span></span></p></div>Nichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13138606195027585687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480196144189832479.post-45690677862069480262010-05-03T17:03:00.000-07:002010-05-03T18:30:43.638-07:00Comp Brief/Feelgood Drinks co.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtmkpfXUVPxiyo6m08cZMrWQi8TnixSItsrFTGyYXIMczUS6Q0Sa9ygC2s_NZMeRzHg9mKG7sZ_kIvJb9dU5j-ywKPAANsa9PhTZI2BNZ8GoXn3nm3han5sQ8vkPN6vavDqFlvcOwzgY/s1600/feekG+post.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTtmkpfXUVPxiyo6m08cZMrWQi8TnixSItsrFTGyYXIMczUS6Q0Sa9ygC2s_NZMeRzHg9mKG7sZ_kIvJb9dU5j-ywKPAANsa9PhTZI2BNZ8GoXn3nm3han5sQ8vkPN6vavDqFlvcOwzgY/s400/feekG+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467220620892995186" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The feelgood drinks co." is an organic drinks company that boast about their ingredients’ having no added sugar and their drinks being one of your five a day. I produced the concept for a campaign incorporating elements specified as important to the ethics of the company in the brief (bottom of post). The concept or even strap line for the campaign is "we're here to make you feelgood". I would have like to have produced more situations including the bubble wrap idea. With time over summer i might go back to this and send in any finished pieces I'm happy with, purely because making these little guys and their world was really fun.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8pCYE05Jy2eA9iaXEHXbiewVXmHhXrLUdT-2AFrU60bY4odiXOPNy_5K1TU72vG6Z_sV6y0XccjCev0Y7NVNMIhz3fstQkDxwvvJFEhk8MEVhzuRrgyXA0j_FwIYzuaY1iCx00jijgMY/s1600/flower.jpg"><img style="display:block;

With the information and technology we now have we can clearly see that even this view of the world is a warped version of the globe as we're given it today. Peters repeated and stood by his calculations but you can't help wonder how much of a miscalculation this may have been over his own political views.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-f9eesLdVFYPQ0n4mKndRSennjVgbhRV5Hk4UU8HU7LzmEzndLaV4V2wSWKLy4m7FCCFJKGHHo85_BKXBa8_DHOEx5Ucxy_EaFb95MGGNhL07VD_CX-3RPHdz92hxFv-tLpI36lT2lc/s1600/petersprojection.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-f9eesLdVFYPQ0n4mKndRSennjVgbhRV5Hk4UU8HU7LzmEzndLaV4V2wSWKLy4m7FCCFJKGHHo85_BKXBa8_DHOEx5Ucxy_EaFb95MGGNhL07VD_CX-3RPHdz92hxFv-tLpI36lT2lc/s400/petersprojection.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466457011381939122" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The idea that no matter how neutral a map may appear it is always influenced and warped by the social and political views of its creator is where the inspiration of the "Worldmapper" project was derived. It is a collection of maps that visually show the proportions of over 700 different statistics in relation to the contents size (examples below)... I think this is quite simply genius! And an effective and assertive way of representing the statistics that are thrown at us everyday in a form that is clear to understand and helps you to gain some real perspective on global situations.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBpoAnJiSG_a53F1lPHAabA10YvbqUXudUTdeiC52NBnJHedfmMrekBhyphenhyphenmkz1T776PxqJDpZ9XQ4CeWEUkU_ZWWv9qjDILuSx-T3Qh2kPr1l0GxQ3fW2s4mHyQT8TGAxUOSdAxxzkL9SI/s1600/landj.jpg"><img style="display:block;

This chapter was touching and effectively conveyed feelings of loneliness and the idea of isolation. There is an extra element of sadness represented by this chapter in the idea of these sensitive people are so effected by an incident or point in their life that they effectively get lost or begin to build their own mental prisons. For my series of photographs I had originally wanted to set my photographs to show people building walls of sorts around them but this didn’t cover enough of the ideas within the chapter for me so instead I carried the chapter in my mind and kept a camera by my side in order to capture single and quite abstract representations of what the chapter meant meant to me.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have converted all of the images to gray, this was because I find the chapter although starts off quite colourful when describing the town quickly unfolds into a bleak, sad and colourless environment, devoid of much hope. This idea as well as individual messages is what I have also tried to capture through my subject matter and looked at what an abstract situation or object might be able to represent within the idea of solitude and loneliness.</span></span></span></p></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl-rqYAVeeGmtjvDyxiIourAzAr74o2xz014ucUOoGGhfBa1oBHOd5XG1vtmBxf5z7PuQt7EYjejDKNnG8YHfbizLiAIkyHBWXIMHga6TFC0frOVrmOsWHSZOfr8s4gwlHmH72jP_h8iU/s1600/shellJ.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Greiman was instrumental in bringing in the style “New Wave” to the States. This style was a rebellious approach to compositions and type forms. Disregarding the practiced disciplines “New Wave” experimented with spacing, type weight, and angular type changing the way we viewed not only the words we read but how we read them and viewed the space they sit in. Throughout her work Greiman has pushed the boundaries of how we view type and composition, but the Swiss influences are often evident. Armin Hofmann, a tutor of Greiman was also one of the leading figures to develop the “Swiss Style” in the 1950’s. This was a style of typography that focused on cleanliness, legibility and objectivity. This was a great influence on Greiman, this method of viewing type and it’s space was the starting point Greiman used to move further, stretching the boundaries of view points to the point that it would become “New Wave” as we know it today. In the mid 80’s Greiman was able to take these</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">ideals further with the introduction of the Macintosh (Mac) computer to design world.

By 1975 she was working with Emilio Ambasz in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, before swiftly trading coast to open up her own graphic design studio “Made In Space, Inc.” by the end of</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">’76. Through out this time heavy oppressions seemed to lie over America. The Vietnam War was only just coming to an end and as it did Nixon’s “Watergate Scandal “ was just beginning to surface, the people were starting to feel disillusioned by their government and its propaganda. Work forces began to revolt and the 70’s saw many strikes across a variety of businesses.</span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The people of America were fed up with the conditions they had been told to live with and decided to make a stand. In a graphic sense Greiman could be said to have made this stand in her own way through contemporary, fresh and rebellious type forms that threw away old methods and made a stand on open mindedness and new ways of thinking.</span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUYWjN7aMga9FKqpTWjmPDbROf1JuqLJPgNUJLCPlxDtJ7cEW5N0iDzpVlFlENbqdlrFD0-10JM8j46q-sQ00G7tQz7VrYCywCyGIi8hOe0aeaqVr93WrUhLx-oJ-UxSv91caJGbRfzc/s320/presm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397795825055889746" /><!--StartFragment--><b><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUYWjN7aMga9FKqpTWjmPDbROf1JuqLJPgNUJLCPlxDtJ7cEW5N0iDzpVlFlENbqdlrFD0-10JM8j46q-sQ00G7tQz7VrYCywCyGIi8hOe0aeaqVr93WrUhLx-oJ-UxSv91caJGbRfzc/s1600-h/presm.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">April Greiman, CalArts Viewbook, 1979</span></span></a></div></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></b></div><div><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The anger of the 70’s ebbed into the consumerist 80’s and brought with it a return to economic growth. The “War on Drugs” had accelerated and the general attitude of society was changing. People had more of an inward attitude based on materialistic goods and self-image. These persuasions were helped by the advertising industry utilizing TV and movie stats of the time to advertise “must have” products in a way not seen since the 20’s, selling happiness at a price. I don’t see Greiman’s work as a reflection on this aspect of her surrounding culture at that time, but rather focuses more on the concepts behind the individual piece while reflecting the excitement surrounding the new digital media available to the design industry. It wasn’t until the 80’s that we really started to see women becoming more accepted and present within the work place. Concepts such as addressing women as Ms instead of Miss or Mrs were brought forward in the search for gender equality and as a stand against conventional views attached to the status of their title. This attitude towards gender (also referred to as post-modern feminism) is a strong example of post-modern ideals pushing through, as women were once again making a stand against the traditions of society in order to gain equality and their own individual identity. Greiman could be considered an icon in this respect especially to the women of this time; boldly tackling the challenges of the existing industry while embracing the new often quicker and more openly than most around her, producing prolifically and building up her own studio from the ground she never let society or situation oppress her and has followed her ideas and intuition throughout her working life, becoming a pioneer in her field.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div> <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCyRSCTjdvU8DC-XQEK2S4kAmRyJKcv4jEf-gg2TY7vMr07Ka71PWglklyvc1hvGktOxz2B3LuCm4Jxmo6VaolmJ14jtvDQd5y1K73PpA-3AI27sxADIi4l7gaxgxFwoHGaDQOaoHxOCU/s320/face.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397795822182402722" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">From the commission of the 1984 Olympic Games poster in 1981 through to the work she produced for the Walter Art Center travelling exhibition 1989 Greiman had produced many ground breaking contemporary pieces not least of which was inspired by the arrival of the Mac. Greiman had been experimenting with ways of producing her work years before the mac’s arrival. Even from the beginning she was a pioneer in influencing people to experiment with their equipment and by trying to utilize the latest technology as her latest design tool. These examples were created by a couple of years before we were gifted the mac. They are experimental pages created using an analog computer, synthesizers, and live video input. Today these images could be easily reproduced on a Macintosh but to see the amount of creativity and thought that went into producing these experiments is inspiring. April Greiman has studied and worked through the postmodernism age, and while gaining from the reproducibility of art work also seemed to work under the postmodernism ideal of image consumerism and as explained (Appignanesi : 1995 p 49) reproducing products that would replace a space of reality with a hyper reality</span></span></div><!--EndFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjj-7oiHxLiuFpKE1zMcnG0yQLf-K1abKo7kAT36vHJNFaNoD4UkkeevzsFOD26IUHpk5SHjcfkmMVI_u0c92wDRaQGyzQjDAXGkeZrYkUYor9YLM-Pdig7RPfs9eiHxGt-nQYcWeIog/s1600-h/rads.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjj-7oiHxLiuFpKE1zMcnG0yQLf-K1abKo7kAT36vHJNFaNoD4UkkeevzsFOD26IUHpk5SHjcfkmMVI_u0c92wDRaQGyzQjDAXGkeZrYkUYor9YLM-Pdig7RPfs9eiHxGt-nQYcWeIog/s320/rads.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397795816465308914" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIMtjKmIe4-tbhu1_Ml_t9mfMTwhJxYdzE9geGpw7CetwcwDoYO99axJglG0lKvue3ey3Ow8Bmto-8ZhWFGejym5kZ7YSrXoSTm8bDPklu-vMigZCnZCmrsoSRrZRTyI8F9THfgH32Jo/s1600-h/mouth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIMtjKmIe4-tbhu1_Ml_t9mfMTwhJxYdzE9geGpw7CetwcwDoYO99axJglG0lKvue3ey3Ow8Bmto-8ZhWFGejym5kZ7YSrXoSTm8bDPklu-vMigZCnZCmrsoSRrZRTyI8F9THfgH32Jo/s320/mouth.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397772438973061698" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlUGeNA9RfaIUNj5s0Eh2NZnvltSb14VBwj868kv4MgTQRkIISizKjRicfaQ5jFRZ2OS-dA6Mx0kwOplPWRXUHWt1YWIgoKxmMMoOZGofT_YUPR5-XjMIaA4WapKbI2QLGbr5k7WR7PTc/s1600-h/fzz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlUGeNA9RfaIUNj5s0Eh2NZnvltSb14VBwj868kv4MgTQRkIISizKjRicfaQ5jFRZ2OS-dA6Mx0kwOplPWRXUHWt1YWIgoKxmMMoOZGofT_YUPR5-XjMIaA4WapKbI2QLGbr5k7WR7PTc/s320/fzz.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397772436661983074" /><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Experimental Images 1982</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></p> <!--EndFragment--> </a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div></span> <!--StartFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">When you look at an early piece of Greiman’s work (pre Mac) you immediately notice her familiar bold style. As well as using a variety of tools to create her work you will also see a midst the seemingly chaotic layout, a mix of style within her work. A mix of Art Deco and Art&Craft or Ornamental Pattern making come to mind. Bringing different styles of design together this way is otherwise known as “Radical Eclecticism”, a common theme in a lot of post-modern design. In other similar works Greiman often included photography (provided by associate Jayme Odgers). Situated within her work it added a sense of surrealism and another element to her style of “Radical Eclecticism”. As you can see in her work for wet magazine (1979), Greiman was already comfortable with pushing the boundaries of design. Throughout her work she has always challenged aspects such as space and linearity, and seems to have always held this post-modern view of their being no true structure to design and that there is no set path; the way forward is experimentation</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div> <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBnJZJZJGEMbirU2_ctHmra1fonqhfD4JlGpBfr2hh_olG7_y2EK3k824Z_Y2TLmqPlszOIqhJUWt6IEGRETDv9rn1RwENRxJBq0iYTaISfTNqTOqvXVmgjCeCZ2TKmssnYKlIfLzIgQ/s320/prelg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397772429724256002" /><!--StartFragment--><b><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBnJZJZJGEMbirU2_ctHmra1fonqhfD4JlGpBfr2hh_olG7_y2EK3k824Z_Y2TLmqPlszOIqhJUWt6IEGRETDv9rn1RwENRxJBq0iYTaISfTNqTOqvXVmgjCeCZ2TKmssnYKlIfLzIgQ/s1600-h/prelg.jpg"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">April Greiman&Jayme Odgers, wet magazine cover, 1979</span></span></span></b></a></span></div></b><!--StartFragment--></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">(Post Mac) Looking at the poster “does it make sense?” 1986 you can see it as another example of “Radical Eclecticism” from April Greiman. The mixes in style in this piece stretch from Neolithic style illustrations to contemporary photography, digital manipulation and crossing fields’ incorporates scientific diagrams within the composition. I like this piece, as it’s a collection of elements relating to man, from the beginning of our time to present. Segments and ideas are pulled apart and pieced back together in an abstract way (a process and technique Greiman often used in a lot of her work), and then we’re asked, “does it make sense?”. Although she had used pixilation in her design long before the Mac came along the new technology definitely helped make this process easier to produce. It is in works such as this one that you can appreciate the economical value of the Macintosh as a design tool. There was fewer amounts of paper and waste at the end of experimentation processes as the design world were working towards manipulating light instead of matter. “Globally, Culturally and economically we are all moving from working with matter to working with light. With the Macintosh we’re manipulating light” (Farrelly : 1998 p8). This comment paints Greiman as an “Economical Post-modernist” of her decade, focusing on not only how or what she is producing but also how it would affect the world and the people around her. This is not the attitude of society that jumps to mind when I think of the 80’s, it stands as an example of Greiman’s open mindedness and spirituality, something that is evident in her life as well as work. It was shortly after producing this piece that in 1987 Greiman rightly won the National Endowment for the Arts grant for computer graphic studies and within the same year was also awarded a Hallmark Fellowship.</span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJktw8uEGkXrjcE1ZMw8tHez1mmeB1pjnmIPHqB39NMt1suPVPmWjzXY3CbOkdNnqDhfhpNJlISk4EEZ5BRxwLcWVmoVb12deodu3alSqfS9Wc6Tco-Nvl7TINwUIKRaleW7O4yvGvNqs/s1600-h/2nd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 104px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJktw8uEGkXrjcE1ZMw8tHez1mmeB1pjnmIPHqB39NMt1suPVPmWjzXY3CbOkdNnqDhfhpNJlISk4EEZ5BRxwLcWVmoVb12deodu3alSqfS9Wc6Tco-Nvl7TINwUIKRaleW7O4yvGvNqs/s320/2nd.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397772424593469010" /><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">April Greiman, Design Quarterly N.o.133, Poster, 1986</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></p> <!--EndFragment--> </a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">By the beginning of the 90’s Greiman was working with “Sci-Arc” a Californian Institute of Architecture established around the 1970’s. Up until meeting Greiman the institute had not discovered their own graphic identity. This was a major commitment on Greiman’s part; she adopted the position and with her own style created their fixed identity as you see it today. The logo itself pulls at a post-modern attitude towards form. The name stretched and twisted, not only does away the with conventional ideas held around type but also, as it appears as a 3D object we are reminded of a flat piece of wood or metal that has been twisted before being captured for the image. This gave it another quality with its concept as the institute it was designed for study and develops the manipulation of such materials. Greiman to this day is a prolific designer, always looking for the new and unexplored regions of design and it’s processes and still displaying that Greiman energy and post-modern spirit within her work.</span></span></div><!--EndFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> </span></div></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicL72ybx8JxI84IDzTxnARhG9CJ97PnMql-RuNhQAk9psWBF1aSc7cmdVpPwwkeW1AjVY9E-TrGqm0wRRUv1y8LsVidnF1ghxDdh0Vw0mX2NXxClFUJeMPT64GH4y_mYIedlCkq9d-Bgg/s1600-h/sci+arc.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicL72ybx8JxI84IDzTxnARhG9CJ97PnMql-RuNhQAk9psWBF1aSc7cmdVpPwwkeW1AjVY9E-TrGqm0wRRUv1y8LsVidnF1ghxDdh0Vw0mX2NXxClFUJeMPT64GH4y_mYIedlCkq9d-Bgg/s320/sci+arc.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397772418901493090" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Book Refrance:</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15px;"><b> <!--StartFragment--> </b></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:130%;"><b><p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst"><span style=" ;font-family:Calibri;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">“No More Rules.

Greiman was instrumental in bringing in the style “New Wave” to the States. This style was a rebellious approach to compositions and type forms, disregarding the practiced disciplines “New Wave” experimented with spacing, type weight, and angular type changing the way we viewed not only the words we read but how we read them and viewed the space they sat in. In the mid 80’s Greiman was able to take these ideals further with the introduction of the Macintosh computer to graphic designers. Greiman was one of the first to embrace the new design tool leading the way for many more designers and acting as an icon for female designers across the globe.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tizgINq5xWc_ePuh-4jyST_pJ5Yatj03DpVsOlQfBpKXHyauWRQukmO1MW9JSROCsNNAFNEVhLSfDudEht6uaWd6yUtlQ1JSFEmVOju-i3qrG0DhTo4Iv3Ke5kef9dad9HRU8Cs4000/s1600-h/wetmagazine.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tizgINq5xWc_ePuh-4jyST_pJ5Yatj03DpVsOlQfBpKXHyauWRQukmO1MW9JSROCsNNAFNEVhLSfDudEht6uaWd6yUtlQ1JSFEmVOju-i3qrG0DhTo4Iv3Ke5kef9dad9HRU8Cs4000/s400/wetmagazine.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395594202675664994" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span>The 1970’s saw Greiman graduate from the Kansas City Arts Institute before studying in Switzerland at the Allgemeine Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel. By 1975 she was working with Emilio Ambasz in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, before swiftly trading coast to open up her own graphic design studio “Made In Space, Inc.” by the end of ‘76. Through out this time heavy oppressions seemed to lie over America. The Vietnam War was only just coming to an end and as it did Nixon’s “Watergate Scandal “ was just beginning to surface, the people were starting to feel disillusioned by their government and its propaganda. Work forces began to revolt and the 70’s saw many strikes across a variety of businesses. People were fed up with the conditions they had been told to live with and decided to make a stand. Greiman in her own way did this graphically through contemporary, fresh and rebellious type forms that threw away old methods and made a stand about open mindedness and new ways of thinking.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7VfUTjsgSpy7AmCn3nw1HF0wc-4ocZKmIoFdSReyCnFP9jVy7Qn9c8VFBnzLn2lc8K6Zi6xe_bekPMPoSNsRfJqmBghpsN4zn3-cgRwScOOlfZvO3X11VMlpnE3_Y1kmALtR5yzG7YY/s1600-h/2nd.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><br /></a><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After WW2, up until the 70’s the U.S. had enjoyed years of economic growth. As Greiman returned to the States she was met by an all time high in unemployment, the value of the U.S. dollar was sinking along with it’s nation’s spirits and an energy crisis which would soon give way to the oil crisis of the 80’s. Despite this Greiman’s visions stood strong. With the consumer age of the 80’s we were also presented with the Macintosh, as Greiman jumped on the idea of utilising this new machinery she also saw it as an economic tool from which we moved away from working with matter (creating waste) and towards working with light.</span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EUeyMwIQTSjOoc-6PnVQ6abeB1pMl7pFDzm7FI62g753NZ5Hzgj9zTX7Ew_BTkpTHfRjHGLAvV8CK53V8wYoZ0dPXsBnW05-DC01mnOSaca8RtKDz4c0gsY8vAGUbJHsctnBhYVuM-M/s1600-h/pacific.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EUeyMwIQTSjOoc-6PnVQ6abeB1pMl7pFDzm7FI62g753NZ5Hzgj9zTX7Ew_BTkpTHfRjHGLAvV8CK53V8wYoZ0dPXsBnW05-DC01mnOSaca8RtKDz4c0gsY8vAGUbJHsctnBhYVuM-M/s400/pacific.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395593896949591634" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkiJMFMFeOnC6T74SsJy7N_0K8DTgdEMSYBNMlWeelhkjKqJJYaWLaLengROtjydcUFw8Ha2X25_YGYbdjzsLQnXpKTuRbOnmEE9ir0EpEOnmzNT80cqplCOB9lms7Pp8GoHf2Ohmk-Q/s1600-h/hybrid.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlkiJMFMFeOnC6T74SsJy7N_0K8DTgdEMSYBNMlWeelhkjKqJJYaWLaLengROtjydcUFw8Ha2X25_YGYbdjzsLQnXpKTuRbOnmEE9ir0EpEOnmzNT80cqplCOB9lms7Pp8GoHf2Ohmk-Q/s400/hybrid.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395593897105400850" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: normal; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The film industry had flourished throughout the Vietnam War surviving on pumped up noble war themes and heroic tales but as the attitude of the nation was changing it was not lost on the industry. Films such as “The Presidents Men”(1976) were brought out in reaction to the government and incidences such as “The Watergate Scandal”. Towards the end of the decade the anger and the steam had ran dry it seemed and into the 80’s people began to look more towards escapism in their leisure time, hence the release of films such as “Star Wars” (1977). But beyond the stage stars were starting to be utilised more for the way they were perceived by public to advertise and feed the society the idea that they could have everything too, all they had to do was go out and buy lots of possessions so that they could be glamorous and happy just like the people on screen… welcome to the 80’s, the birth of “The Me Decade”. This inward attitude of a materialistic and selfish society is not one Greiman embraced. Her work through this decade to me does not reflect necessarily any general view of society at that time, but rather focuses more on the concepts behind each individual piece of work and reflects the excitement surrounding new digital media available to the design world.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE4e07tJBV5MZ1jm2l_Wgy1AUG2g0rDKtI_k2bILPPbqd-oq-I5ZutVSUBXmG1gnols4LExSVfD9V3ZqStIwO4a2nPEL8cZjM2I_4v16IaQlWSe9E4cy0syRW4LQaM-rRHIOuvHTQr8o/s1600-h/greiman1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE4e07tJBV5MZ1jm2l_Wgy1AUG2g0rDKtI_k2bILPPbqd-oq-I5ZutVSUBXmG1gnols4LExSVfD9V3ZqStIwO4a2nPEL8cZjM2I_4v16IaQlWSe9E4cy0syRW4LQaM-rRHIOuvHTQr8o/s400/greiman1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395593886702624754" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqOVw518l3qJwovqN-u-Unru_6qDetIv-Z5buOzmzCPj9MmWpGojBqCtSckgH-iv7QdKNQabF5_JkYKAkW_-gCTzCW9ANo05ZZqTUGmDPlUnA9YqFdRxDDemCrRDIdcvqNG1L45TbfqE/s1600-h/swiss.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 336px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqOVw518l3qJwovqN-u-Unru_6qDetIv-Z5buOzmzCPj9MmWpGojBqCtSckgH-iv7QdKNQabF5_JkYKAkW_-gCTzCW9ANo05ZZqTUGmDPlUnA9YqFdRxDDemCrRDIdcvqNG1L45TbfqE/s400/swiss.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395593882750085586" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></span> </span>Throughout her work Greiman has pushed the boundaries of how we view type and composition, but the Swiss influences are often evident. Armin Hofmann, a tutor of Greiman was also one of the leading figures to develop the “Swiss Style” in the 1950’s. This was a style of typography that focused on cleanliness, legibility and objectivity. This was a great influence on Greiman, this methid of viewing type and it’s space was the starting point Greiman used to move further, stretching the boundaries of view points to create the style “New Wave” as we know it today.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://aprilgreiman.com/home.html">http://aprilgreiman.com/home.html</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.madeinspace.la/home/home.html">http://www.madeinspace.la/home/home.html</a></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment--><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div></div>Nichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13138606195027585687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480196144189832479.post-65732192333201876062009-10-21T14:57:00.000-07:002009-10-21T15:58:48.488-07:00Ivan Maximov / Иван Максимов<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">Ivan Maximov is one of my favorite animators.

I chose the cutting mat to represent my percentages as it is a frequent tool of design and very recognisable to graphic designers everywhere. Originally i had hoped to take a real cutting mat and find a workshop that could take the sections i had applied for the percentages out of the mat itself. Time pressing i decided to scan a cutting mat from the first year studio in sections, piece it together and apply my percentages in illustrator. This worked nicely and left more room for correcting errors with layout. I used the different shapes so that the bracket the percentage size falls into (less than 1%=circle) would be easy to associate so you wouldn't necessarily need to read the number of every percentage to get the gist.</span></span><br /><br /><br /></div>Nichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13138606195027585687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480196144189832479.post-30103163479650344522009-10-16T03:53:00.000-07:002009-10-19T15:58:30.401-07:00Who Is This<div style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This assignment involved working with a partner and was split up into sections.

Every morning before work he’d get up at the same time, drink his morning coffee and be out of the door before any stir from his family. On the unfortunate mornings his wife Anna happened to be awake he would always be met with a sour face and grumbles of disappointment, ever reminding him of this mundane life he had fallen into. His relationship with his daughter wasn’t much better. Granted life with any fifteen year old is never easy as a parent even in the best of families but Sophie for years now had taken a page from her mothers book and held the same opinion of this weak willed, boring, hopeless man as her father. Clive knew this and carried it with him every day.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> His work life brought little joy either. Having your bog standard accountancy job there was little excitement to offer (besides the occasional fantasy of freefalling from the roof of his office).<span style=""> </span>At forty seven, after twenty two years of his laborious routine and of being constantly unappreciated, demeaned and looked down on at home as well as work Clive really did feel hopeless, he just couldn’t see an end.</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> Throughout his life he had never been much of a drinker, yet over the course of turning forty five and with what little change this mile stone brought the need for a creature comfort of any kind. It started with a couple a week “just to avoid rush hour traffic” but quickly turned into five a week just to have some form of light at the end of the tunnel before stumbling into the resentment hole of his home.</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> It was on an autumn evening after the usual grief at work and with an extra pinch of salt from his wife that morning that Clive made the mistake of having that extra pint before facing his commute. “It’s only one more” he told himself and thought if he ate he’d be fine. He left the pub around eight, a little rosy cheeked and in no condition to legally drive. He drove five miles under the speed limit and was feeling confident that he wouldn’t be pulled… CRASH! And there it was. He’d rear ended another car. He was sure the car had come from nowhere and swore he’d seen no lights. To an extent he was right. A bitter sweet incident, Clive had hit mobsters car on it’s swift exit from a job. Now neither one of them wanted to involve the police and Clive having far from having the money to make the problem disappear had little choice but to except the mobsters offer in the hope that the problem would soon disappear. It had been over a year since the accident. That was a year of handling packages, relaying messages and playing the mule, all for that extra pint. He couldn’t deny that the mob had brought excitement into his life but it really wasn’t the kind he was ever looking for; once again he had fallen in to a situation that seemed to have no end, and one he was scared to try and get out of. It was a fight or flight moment. Clive knew there was no point in trying to reason with the Mafia but the stress was slowly killing him, even his wife and daughter had taken pity on occasion despite the fact they knew nothing at the time; the mob knew his family, his home and his place of work. If he was going it would have to be for good and as confused and angry as they may be he had to take his family with him. So there it was, the 11th February 2006 was the last time anyone saw Clive or his family. Their whereabouts is still unknown.</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span">The Story Of Peti Rasmussen By Lucy Timon</span></span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiMjkM8yqsGQsYeEx3nXTnxAinZTBW9bRCMvwm_8HrK36kSewWuQGLSa9-ssfNkHunf3aVSzEdYtYhfHDRQQwB4tZconHHXt_9D3ODJ01HZAfwPlfe00L7lao6s5cjL-TS7_raWO6IWg/s1600-h/peti.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiMjkM8yqsGQsYeEx3nXTnxAinZTBW9bRCMvwm_8HrK36kSewWuQGLSa9-ssfNkHunf3aVSzEdYtYhfHDRQQwB4tZconHHXt_9D3ODJ01HZAfwPlfe00L7lao6s5cjL-TS7_raWO6IWg/s400/peti.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393168022088044002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBe6h0pSTmafk48xYz5BsZQ0oWng5P8NTXekhqGFSpHQ-O8twc9fKlU4NZTsinbQ_RLz1Z6avBmoKamjNC9ESo_XJHPXXCkWCtdqsaQr4XOS_sTC3pWS2W24i7-cySWH50_gK0gwqrfqA/s1600-h/marg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 369px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBe6h0pSTmafk48xYz5BsZQ0oWng5P8NTXekhqGFSpHQ-O8twc9fKlU4NZTsinbQ_RLz1Z6avBmoKamjNC9ESo_XJHPXXCkWCtdqsaQr4XOS_sTC3pWS2W24i7-cySWH50_gK0gwqrfqA/s400/marg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393167662897166066" border="0" /></a><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">The Story of Maria by Nicola Sullivan</span></span></span></span></div><!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span></span><!--StartFragment--></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"> <!--StartFragment--> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Maria doesn't remember much of her childhood growing up in Spain.

The contrast to this was that she was always very quiet in school and was often teased for her Spanish up bringing. Until the day she snapped; a small shove from one of her usual tormentors was all it took, and Maria saw red. After beating the girl senseless she never really received the torments again. And after her suspension still never made a real friend throughout school. It was this isolation from her piers and the constant criticism from teaching staff that drove Maria further into herself and by the end of school only left with one qualification, in Home Economics. </span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">With school finally a thing of the past Maria looked forward to her future with optimism but wasn't sure where to start.

Her father was a baker and her mother although a natural cook had dedicated her life to looking after her two daughters. The girl’s parents were very kind generous people who were loved by everyone, especially for their baking skills. The Segal’s made the most incredible cakes, bread and pastries throughout the city, of which Anna was especially proud. From as long as she could remember Anna had been so eager to learn her parents and decided from an early age that she would stay in the family business and to one day become a famous cook. Anna and Nela had enjoyed a picturesque childhood until the year 1939 when both girls were sent to England. They were sent to escape the poor camps of the holocaust and the horrors to be left behind. They were devastated to be parted their loving parents but as Anna held on to her sister tight believing that everything would be fine so long as they were both together. The train was completely full of many other orphan children, although the sisters managed to find a small compartment where they were able to sit together comfortably. Anna was a talented storyteller so comforted her sister by telling her favourite stories. Later the girls opened their small rucksacks to find that their parents had left them both their favourite pastries from their father’s bakery. Nela grabbed her cake and wolfed the sweet as quick as she could, whereas Anna slowly savoured her cakes vowing to never forget the beautiful flavours.</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">The journey was three days long and so exhausting they would never forget it, as the train finally pulled into their destination in London the girls were suddenly filled with joy and so much relief they had finally made it! A man called Nicholas Winton took their details and led them to be greeted by a very happy and young looking man and woman. Mr Winton introduced the couple as Mr George and Mrs Margery Acton. The twins were told that they were going home with the happy couple and Anna felt a great surge of gratitude towards both of them. Despite the love they were shown at their new home life for the first few years, especially at school was difficult with the other children. They were teased because the girls didn’t know much English to begin with and the other children were too ignorant to consider the girl’s feelings and what they were going through.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ten years had gone by and the girls were living happily with their adoptive parents, the war had ended in 1945 although the girls never heard from their real parents again which left them deeply devastated. Although Mr & Mrs Acton had treated the girls like their real children and showered them with love and affection so both had a very happy upbringing. Now that the girls were 19, they had both in school and were heading out into the real world: Nala always had an ambition to become a nurse so that she could do a bit extra to help people.

Her father was a baker and her mother although a natural cook had dedicated her life to looking after her two daughters. The girl’s parents were very kind generous people who were loved by everyone, especially for their baking skills. The Segal’s made the most incredible cakes, bread and pastries throughout the city, of which Anna was especially proud. From as long as she could remember Anna had been so eager to learn her parents and decided from an early age that she would stay in the family business and to one day become a famous cook. Anna and Nela had enjoyed a picturesque childhood until the year 1939 when both girls were sent to England. They were sent to escape the poor camps of the holocaust and the horrors to be left behind. They were devastated to be parted from their loving parents but as Anna held on to her sister tight believing that everything would be fine so long as they were both together. The train was completely full of many other orphan children, although the sisters managed to find a small compartment where they were able to sit together comfortably. Anna was a talented storyteller so comforted her sister by telling her favourite stories. Later the girls opened their small rucksacks to find that their parents had left them both their favourite pastries from their father’s bakery. Nela grabbed her cake and wolfed the sweet as quick as she could, whereas Anna slowly savoured her cakes vowing to never forget the beautiful flavours.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">The journey was three days long and so exhausting they would never forget it, as the train finally pulled into their destination in London the girls were suddenly filled with joy and so much relief they had finally made it! A man called Nicholas Winton took their details and led them to be greeted by a very happy and young looking man and woman. Mr Winton introduced the couple as Mr George and Mrs Margery Acton. The twins were told that they were going home with the happy couple and Anna felt a great surge of gratitude towards both of them. Despite the love they were shown at their new home life for the first few years, especially at school was difficult with the other children. They were teased because the girls didn’t know much English to begin with and the other children were too ignorant to consider the girl’s feelings and what they were going through.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ten years had gone by and the girls were living happily with their adoptive parents, the war had ended in 1945 but it had been many years since the girls had heard from their parents.

Although Mr & Mrs Acton had treated the girls like their real children and showered them with love and affection so both had a very happy upbringing. Now that the girls were 19, they had both in school and were heading out into the real world: Nala always had an ambition to become a nurse so that she could do a bit extra to help people. Whereas Anna always felt that she needed to follow her childhood dream following her parents footsteps and open her own bakery.

It's a collage effect that incorporates all the major points of the final story as well as having the information we were asked to give which lies on the label. The only aspect i don’t like is the brick’s at the top of the design. I think they need repositioning.</span></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.teeshaslandofodd.com/1/temp.html">http://www.teeshaslandofodd.com/1/temp.html</a></span></span><br /><br /></div>Nichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13138606195027585687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480196144189832479.post-87630748890371329512009-10-16T03:31:00.001-07:002009-10-19T14:55:49.539-07:00Speak To Your Dad Day<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I was asked to come up with five campaigns for the theme of "speak to your dad day" These are rough ideas of what i would produce.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSC2OteUKWV6hseRF2RsjEVSpI5e0ErCdc8JCwWNP13gja3mu9yBVLA2bpYHPW_MhJMxfzV0iIofSj5wsedGL6gFuWSmkpB4RX_yDXs9_8F2W_GWzNpOMbxHlguQFVerA7MdOGo5AfmQw/s1600-h/Dcups.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSC2OteUKWV6hseRF2RsjEVSpI5e0ErCdc8JCwWNP13gja3mu9yBVLA2bpYHPW_MhJMxfzV0iIofSj5wsedGL6gFuWSmkpB4RX_yDXs9_8F2W_GWzNpOMbxHlguQFVerA7MdOGo5AfmQw/s400/Dcups.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393144297194936306" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I think this idea would speak more to the parents to sit down with their kids as apposed to influencing a child to go and speak to their parents.
