What is graphic design- Type And Image.

For this section of what is graphic design, we have been asked to consider three questions when analysing a piece of work these are:

What is graphic design for?- what function does it perform or what problem is ti trying to solve.
Who is graphic design for?- who is the potential audience or audiences? who is meant to get it or who isn't?
Where is graphic design found?- where is it meant to be seen?in what situation or at what scale? how is the audience supposed to receive it and are they meant to interact with it




This is very simplistic advert, however the simplicity is very effective in this case. This is successful low budget advertising. Photographically is raw, in terms of it not being set out seen, this shown by the rubble lying around, this adds to the image, in terms of encouraging people to get a new bbq. However some people may suggest that this gives a poor company image. i think it shows ingenuity. 


This is a advert for natural hair products, i think this is a clever way of using the environment. The target audience is obviously women, however the advert is there for all to appreciate, which will leave  a lasting memory in both sex,s which can only improve brand recognition. The cut itself is incredibly visually appealing. 



This is a political billboard, Based on iraq was, posing the question, was the war in iraq down to oil? and an unjust war? it advertising a a news night program on CNN. it provokes on lookers of the billboard, which will intern encourage people to watch the programme. 


This piece is designed to amuse, its an advertisement for a hat company, saying the the only difference between charlie chapman and hitler was the hat. I really like the stock this has been printed on to, adds the advert nicely. This advert will probably be aimed at men.


This piece i have chosen to up load, because of its ascetic quality. i also enjoy the type layout and small pt size which is in conjunction with the colour scheme, which pushes the boundaries of legibility. This is a very come style of poster design, but i like the colour scheme used in this one. 



What attracted me to the piece was the interesting type layout, the post also has hints of modernism, which i like. The grey scaled image also works well with the pinky background. I think this may well be seen in the public eye, however i am not sure if the general public would appreciate this image, as i like it from a design perspective. It advertises a film. 


This piece gives the impression of movement, due to the diamond in the middle, and i think this is a clever use of basic shapes in work, is something that would like to emulate. The stock it is printed on to also adds, to the theme of nature and adventure which runs through the work. it advertising an adventure weekend. 


The psychedelic side to this collection of images is what i like, they are meant to communicate the pain of waking up in the morning, and this aproach i think gives visuals to the confusion of waking up. i like the heavy black on the green. 



These are conceptual pieces based around beethoven's symphonies, i think perhaps the layout of the piece directly above is may favourite. i love the simplicity and sharpness of the final outcome. I think again though these pieces are may only be attractive to people who have knowledge of design. 






These are business cards, i think the idea of not all business card being the same, but a number of them creating an image in a strong one, and it is this concept that attracted me to this piece of design. as well as the design being ascetically pleasing. As a business card, it needs to represent formality and style, which i think is accurately portrayed here, with the colour scheme and layout.
