GRAPHIC DESIGN: MEDIUM FOR THE MASSES

8th November

GRAPHIC DESIGN: MEDIUM FOR THE MASSES


-Grotto and Bondone, Betrayal C. 1305.
Fine art- but symbolises, shows a graphic story. A media for the age.

1922, William Addison Dwiggins
‘In the matter of layout forget art at the start and use horse sense. The printing designers whole duty is to make a clear presentation of the message- to get the important statements forward and the minor parts placed so that they will never be overlooked. This calls for an exercise of common sense and a faculty of analysis rather than for art.’

Herbert Spencer
‘Mechanized Art’

Max Bill and Josef Muller-Brockman
‘Visual Communication’

Richard Hollis
‘Graphic Design is the business of making or choosing marks and arguing them on a surface to convey an idea’

Paul Rand
‘...graphic design, in the end, deals with the spectator, and because it is the goal of the designer to be persuasive or a least informative, it follows that the designer’s problems are twofold: to anticipate the spectators reactions and to meet his own aesthetic needs’

Josef Muller-Brockman
‘Whatever the information transmitted, it must, ethically and culturally, reflect  its responsibility to society’
