Industrial Revolution And Its Potentials In The Graphic Design Industry

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 term graphic design was coined in 1922 by William Addison Dwiggins, who used the term to describe his process of designing books, as a combination of typesetting, illustration and design, The father of graphic design is considered to be Paul Rand who made the most iconic poster in history when we used the stripes of a bee in his poster to make the M In his clients name. it was with these men that the beginning of creative advertisement sprang free

In today’s world, marketers and advertisers are fighting for every spot they get to display their ads and market their products. The ultimate aim is to get as much exposure as possible. This in turn, they hope, will translate into sales. The literature “Ways of Seeing – Part 7” underlines the theory of publicity. I chose this literature because it elucidates the backbone of marketing and advertising – publicity. It interests me because designers and advertisers revolve their careers around for many years in order to obtain ‘Publicity’.

Throughout history new approaches for illustration emerged in graphic design. During the first half of the twentieth century narrative illustration ruled American graphic design. Conceptual designers were concerned with the design of the entire space of the page and the integration of word and image. Designers convey not merely information about the product or idea that the poster or ad is displaying but also promotes an larger or separate concept as well (Rossi 80). The shift of the conceptual image in poster design was significant from the pictorial modernism era in 1895 to the conceptual image era in the 1960s. The Beggarstaffs, Lucian Bernhard, Milton Glaser, and Wes Wilson all proved why the conceptual image and simplification was a success

Advertising has become one of the most powerful and effective tools that business uses to launch and brand products. Advertising is a form of communication used to persuade an audience to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or services. Everyday we are surrounded by advertisements, influencing us to make different purchases without our mind even realizing how much they really affect us. Advertising is available in many different mediums and communicated across many different forums. Of all of the forms of advertising, visual advertising has proven to be one of the most successful. Graphic designers have the ability to put subtle references and innuendos into your mind by utilizing different fonts, colors, and visual points

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.

In Graphic Design: A New History, the author Eskilson narrates the history of graphic design with the start of the Industrial Revolution. In 18th century Europe, the economy shifted from a rural agricultural foundation to the mass production of goods in large factory settings. This shift in economy, led people to migrate into large cities and created the “rise of mass culture” this shift, was coined the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution introduced the railroad, steam engine, coal, iron, steel, and the steam-engine-driven press. Eskilson states that the steam-engine-press, along with the 15th century invention of moveable type,

Learning the fundamentals of Digital Media is essential to laying a solid foundation to allow for a sturdy backing in digital design. Digital design theories, practices, and technologies can provide designers a stable of skills to build core competencies and over time wisdom. Mastering digital design fundamentals will provide opportunity for career growth. Depending on the industry, an entry-level designer can rise from senior designer, to art director, and then creative director. As digital media continues to mature, categorical design disciplines will continue to evolve, shape, and style the visual culture. From magazines to web pages, the spectrum of visual design will continue to move people everywhere on an emotional level.

Printers were not welcoming to the 1950’s graphic designer, who refused to admit to being commercial artists. (Mackie, 2000, p. 127) Creating projects by hand had more depth and meaning behind them than those made from a printer. Cold, flat images printed in basic colors could never convey the feelings of the artist the way a hand-made project could. A commercial production meant mass production lacking any originality, a quality most designers feared. Any benefits of commercial production were ignored by artists for as long as they could get away with. But eventually, progress

In this summative essay I would like to explore and analyse the influence that Graphic design has had on popular culture and consumerism. Graphic design can be defined as “the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form of the communication can be physical or virtual, and may include images, words, or graphic forms.” (aiga.org) Designers are problem solvers and it is their job to come up with a suitable solution to a problem. They have to find the best suitable means to communicate a particular message. Graphic Designers are at the forefront of advertising and the battle of selling giving the designer even greater responsibility, because of this graphic designers play a big role in consumerism. Consumerism, “as a social and economic order and ideology encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-greater amounts.” (wikipedia.org) Society have been gradually made to believe that they can increase their happiness through buying and spending. Consumerism is an international problem, but has existed for many years, people purchasing goods that exceeded those of their basic needs dates way back to the first civilisations, in the eras of ancient Egypt and Rome. A turn in consumerism arrived just before the industrial revolution, people worked long hours and earned low wages, so they didn 't have the time or the disposable income for excess spending. The industrial revolution welcomed the use of assembly

During the past years, graphic design has been changing all over the world, especially regarding the use of certain techniques of designing. Traditional principles and techniques of design allow designers to be more creative, but more and more designers are using computers. So, is new technology good or bad? It may seem strange to consider the different aspects of graphic design because most people only know the technological side. Though most people think graphic design is more about the digital media, it is actually a complicated process that requires creativity that computers cannot supply.

Q1. What was the industrial revolution? When did it occur? How did industrialisation lead to the creation of the design profession? How was the industrial manufacturing of making products new and what role did the designer play in creating new products?

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.

Art and Design are important because they both make the world more sensible and a better place, they also bring a sense of enjoyment and make it easier to understand everything around us even more. Here we will discuss the role played by Art and Design in modern advertising.
