New Technology Has Affected Traditional Graphic Design

Graphic design is an art that entails visual communication, which tends to combine words, images or even an idea in an effort to bring out some information to an audience. Graphic designers effectively put their art and profession mainly in the design of graphics, logos, and posters among other forms of visual communication. In addition, these designers assist in creation of continuity among the different instruments of communication. Principles of graphic design and elements of graphic design are what graphic designers commonly utilize (Lupton et al, 2008).

If we examine our existence through a dichotomous lens of internal and external experiences, it is easier to understand the importance of graphic design. Everyone, to some extent, is trapped within themselves. There is me in here, and you in there—a separation exists. We find common ground in the external world where there are certain rules that most of us have agreed to play by. Graphic design functions as a catalyst for either strengthening or disintegrating these rules. It screams, “Continue! Begin! Stop!” The graphic designer must work through the external world, understand its rules, and journey through their internal world in search of a project’s solution. If the solution is successful,

Design has become one of my greatest passions in my life, one that I never grow tired of and constantly wish to improve upon. This is why I chose to become a graphic design major, so that I could constantly interact and learn about design even once I enter the career force. Design is a puzzle that when solved correctly can reach people like words could never do. I have known that I would enter a creative field since a child, though it wasn’t till recent years that my love of graphic design truly blossomed.

In many ways, art is how younger children connect with the world. A child may draw a picture of a beautiful sunny day or make a melodies out of bird chips and falling leaves. Art in school curriculum is a vital part of pre-mature education and development. (Evans, 2008, para. 7) Psychologically speaking art builds powerful neural networks in the human brain which has crucial impacts on personality and overall brain development as a child or adolescent. On the opposite end of the spectrum, mathematics also has a very positive impact on brain development, but does not have as important of an effect on human personality and creativity, yet it more often impacts human logistics. Although it is believed that the new innovations of today have come from mathematical genius and computers, the arts and fine arts are a crucial factor in the creation process of life changing inventions. Referring back to how art affects the human brain; humans have left sided thinking (analytics and math) and right sided thinking (art, music, and creativity). The glory of humans is to put both sides to equal use. If society leans too much towards computers and analytics in the future, humans may lose sense of creativity and will function less effectively on a personal and social

Twisted Tuesdays allows you to relax for a couple of hours while unlocking a bit of your untapped creativity. While combining Zentangle and Doodle style techniques, we explore various simple pen and ink drawing patterns and how they can shape a new way to think about art and mental function. Research has shown that drawing or doodling can help with focus, relieve stress, and even boost memory function. Each week, we gather, visit and learn about new patterns and apply them to a project for you to take home or, sometimes, send to friends! All supplies are provided, just show up. Cost is $10. Join us each Tuesday from 6-8 and draw on your inner artist. You may be surprised what you find!

“The artist is the compass which, through the raging of the storm, points steadily to the north，” said by Romain Rolland. If people could give an accurate concept of art , then it was better to say that art gave the artist a firm goal and motivation. At a young age, I did not have a deep understanding of art. In my memory, drawing a few pictures of comic and having art classes in my elementary school in China that was the closest way to learn art. Although I liked painting, I did not choose it as my major in my high school and university without the support of my family. However, fortunately I had a good chance to live and study in New York with my family in the winter of 2014. If I could not learn painting that was a kind of regret in the first two decades of my life, then I might have the opportunity to make up for this regret in after years. I was very grateful to the art to bring my enthusiasm, so I could firmly choose the art design as a new professional in QCC and have more opportunities to learn about art.

However, computer artists now see the importance of these works as they started a “new technologically-grounded aesthetic,”3 that would be an integral part of the development of art through computers.

“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web” -Picasso. As a kid he always liked to draw, and one day in school he was drawing when he was not supposed to. He got sent to this room with only a bench and he brought his drawing supplies with. He did not like the rules of most schools, so he would ditch class and go draw the things he saw as he walked down the street. His father was an art teacher. His father would always teach him how to draw and different techniques. By the time he was thirteen he was a better artist than his father.

The translation from the mind’s eye to paper or any other medium, has been my tension relieving entertainment. I grew up experimenting with three-dimensional sketches, until my norm for classroom boredom doodlings with pencils on paper became “masterpieces”.

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.” said Dieter F. Uchtdorf. For as long as I can remember I’ve felt most at peace when I’m being creative. When I look back at pictures from my childhood a majority of them are of me rather painting, coloring, or making play houses out of old cardboard boxes. It was never something I thought much about except that it was just what I always enjoyed doing. So many aspects of my life have changed since I was just a toddler but, my creativity is one aspect that has never left my life.

Anyone who spends time with children knows they draw all the time. On paper, on tables, on themselves; children constantly explore their world through mark making and scribbling. Children can use art to help them develop other cognitive skills such as writing or anger management; and although every child progresses differently, this paper discusses the possibility of universal, age-correlated stages of art development.

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.

Meredith Davis’s book “Graphic Design Theory” was published in September 2012 by Thames & Hudson. This book blends a study of historical thinking of design with contemporary / modern approach to it. It also suggests students to critically analyse their work and asks them to adopt the design theories to embellish their practical design work as it will help them construct better work. This book also helps in understanding the consumers and the history of Graphic Design and also talks about a range of theories and introduces a collection of concepts and sources for future use and reference. In this book, Meredith Davis talks about the relationship of visual representation to the contexts of design. It talks about focusing on the broad and long term aftereffects of design and not to design only for the moment and responding to prompt needs.
