Opportunities And Disadvantages Of Graphic Design

As years go by, different types of graphic designs evolve and develop. The development of any art is dependent on how well the members of the profession are effective in the communication of their ideas, practices, trends as well as research involved. With time, graphic design has evolved to several periods among them manuscript design, renaissance, industrial revolution art nouveau Swiss style among others (Arntson 2012). Some of these periods relate in some common characteristics. In reviewing the several similarities between art and craft graphic design and the art nouveau periods, each of the periods is briefly explained and then the overall similarities are obtained.

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,

The computer revolution has changed a lot of how graphic design is conducted and with that came the do-it-yourself graphic designers. “Low-cost computers and software have radically challenged the working procedure of designers.” Thornton (1996). Sitting at home working on a computer receiving a paycheck is a dream that many have and would love to do, however, this is not the case for a lot of people. Most high school students get to choose from a large array of classes that teach them the basics of the Adobe Creative Suite or other software that they can manipulate images or illustrate pictures. Some get the idea that because they read some information on websites and learn some terminology that they have what it takes to get into the

Before there were invention of letters and words to communicate people would use symbol art or drawn images to communicate. Even after the invention of letters to communicate we still tends to use graphic design such as logos and road signs. Symbol art are so significant to our daily lives and linked back up to Egyptian hieroglyph. Many graphic design focus on symbols because graphic designers job is to make sure the message of their own visual can be understood by others. The "Judgment of Hunefer before Osiris" shows how art symbols are use very commonly in the early age and should stay in next year art history book due to that fact that the artwork on the "Judgment of Hunefer before Osiris" incorporated relationship between art and literature

When I started this class, I did not know anything about the history of graphic design. I had no idea what influences have held a strong presence or why things are the way that they are. During this typography research project I learned a lot about the history of graphic design and especially the history of the Dadaism typography movement.

The graphic design industry has been influenced heavily, by the advancement of technology. In the last quarter of the 20th century, new software and technologies improved the quality of designing, it opened a wide path of opportunities for graphic designers to explore more with colors, themes, graphical textures, and space. It enabled them to transform feeling, expression, and information into a tangible unique artifact that document human experience.

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.

“Vision is the art of seeing the invisible” ( Jonathon Swift). We have been indulging in the arts and have used art as a way to express and interact with the people surrounding us. To the carved images on rocks, and to the cartoons shown on the TV, the evolution of Graphic Design has shown us the importance of typography, photographers, illustrators etc. have on our society. When paper, ink, and pencils didn’t exist, our ancestors would carve their warnings, messages, and emotions on rocks and walls. Our ancestors don’t realize that such small acts such as these was the beginning of a huge movement, that wouldn’t be recognized until thousands years later. During the 16th century, China was able to establish a technique called woodblock printing or, the application of ink on raised curved surface, that allowed multiple text and images to be made quickly. China’s wide extension of printing slowly reached the middle east and caused Europe to start producing woodblock broadsides and printed books. The first printing press was constructed by Johannes Gutenberg, which was the first metal movable type to create a large amount of printed books. In the Old days books were very rare, expensive and were very valuable. The creation of the Printing press allowed books to be done faster, cheaper and it allowed books to be more accessible to the public.
