Graphic design has a paradoxical relationship to history. While it claims to promote originality and innovation - ideas that emphasize the new and unique - design practice is deeply embedded in previous ideals. Too often, design students encounter the past in brief visual impressions which seduce them to imitate form rather than engage with historical contexts. Even though it has claimed to be objective and even comprehensive, graphic design history has focused largely on individual careers and Eurocentric achievements. Yet the past swells with untapped potential. Graphic design history can serve the field of today and tomorrow, but its narratives require updates. History, like design, is al...
How does one begin creating a Chinese typeface? In Ming Romantic: Collected and Bound, design studio Synoptic Office explores this question through a selection of writings, interviews, and historical material collected during the creation of Ming Romantic, a didone-inspired, Chinese typeface. Precedence and tradition, powerful forces in the Chinese imagination, are addressed in the context of contemporary design practice. Visual form, meaning, and technology are considered in how they might be employed to advance the field of Chinese typography.
What graphic design is, what designers need to know, and who becomes a designer have all evolved as the computer went from being a tool to also becoming our primary medium for communication. How jobs are advertised and how prospective candidates communicate with prospective employers have changed as well, as has the culture and context for many workplaces, requiring new approaches for how to find your first (and last) position. Through clear prose, a broad survey of contexts where designers find themselves in the present day, and interviews with designers, The AIGA Guide to Careers in Graphic and Communication Design is an invaluable resource for finding your place in this quickly changing and growing field. The book includes interviews with over 40 designers at all levels working in-house and out-of-house in studios, consultancies, or alone, including: Nicholas Blechman, The New Yorker; Rob Giampietro, Google; Njoki Gitahi, IDEO; Hilary Greenbaum, Whitney Museum; Holly Gressley, Vox Media; Cemre Güngör, Facebook; Natasha Jen, Pentagram; Renda Morton, The New York Times; and Alisa Wolfson, Leo Burnett Worldwide.
這一年,我看見了(平面)設計的「什麽」? POSTER。海報,被認為是平面設計中至上的學科:它的大尺寸和曝光於公共空間的特性,確保了其影響力更廣泛——此般形容,或許是大部分人對海報設計的印象。 尤其,通勤時刻最常打面照的平面設計就莫過於海報。但這些一般擁有時效性的設計,卻在社交平臺普及化以及藝術組織的收藏下,有了更永續的「後日談」:像知名度最廣的「華沙國際海報雙年展」就有賴 IG 來公佈年度得獎名單,而蘇黎世設計博物館更是在一年内推出了達三次的海報作品展。更不用説,早在 2015 年成...
