In this essay I will be discussing French artist Jules Cheret’s art work: La Loie Fuller (1893, figure 2.3) and American artist Will H. Bradley’s art work: The Chap Book, Thanksgiving no. (1895, figure 2.24) in a compare and contrast exercise, looking at both the similarities but also what makes these two works very different. The art works are both dated by the end of the nineteenth century. Around the same time, the Industrial Revolution brought a huge boost productivity, but also changed the social structure in Europe. Some artists start interest in finding a new artistic vocabulary that could best express the industrial world in which they lived. Therefore, an artistic movement called Art Nouveau has started in around 1890 to1910. It turned Western Classicism into Modernism. Jules Cheret and Will H. Bradley’s art…

Ray Parslow is one of those people. He works with drawn, painted, photographed, computer-generated images (pictures), but he also designs the letterforms that make up various typefaces found in movie credits and TV ads; in books, magazines, and menus; and even on computer screens. He also creates, chooses, and organizes these elements-typography, images, and the so-called “white space” around them-to communicate a message. Graphic design is a part of his daily life.…

My creativity is like a roller coaster. At the beginning of my life I was riding the roller coaster of my creativity up a very high hill. This was the time when I was just starting to figure out how everything worked and what creativity ment. I found I could express myself through a crayon and piece of paper. I was drawing everything that made me happy. My family was what I mostly drew at this point, because my happiness revolved around them. As I got further up the hill the track kept getting steeper, because I was learning about my creativity very fast. I even started drawing what made me sad, like my best friends getting mad at me or my dog passing away. I could tell my mom how I felt without saying…
In Victor Margolin’s article “Rebellion, Reform, and Revolution: American Graphic Design for Social Change,” he does well in presenting Graphic Designers and their contributions to political and social change throughout history. Graphic Designers have a moral and ethical responsibility to the public. Mainstream media offers a plethora of inspiration and information for visual artists and designers alike. In recent years, the media’s journalistic integrity, or lack thereof, has been easily influenced by political agendas and bias. It is imperative for Graphic Designers to conduct as much research as possible before creating any social or political solution. The psychological and social impact of Graphic Design requires designers to have both morals and ethics. There are many tools a designer has to use at their exposal, such as: political public opinion, psychology, and media influence.…
There weren’t huge strides in graphic design, until a few hundred years later when in 1750 the Industrial Revolution changed mass urban culture and the entire world. This transition marked not only social and economic change, from agriculture and commercial society to the modern urban areas. It also brought with it new machinery such as the steam engine, and the use of iron and coal as new energy sources. Retail, transportation and factories became a vital part of the work forces and so changed the way graphic art was not only designed but also the way it was marketed. Printing became all about mass communication in the 19th century. This rise of mass communication brought with it inevitable change and revelations. The first being that newspapers like Winslow Homer’s Baillou’s Pictorial and Honore Daumier’s Macaire Bill Poster were overdone and unnecessarily ornamented. The second revelation of the Industrial Revolution was that artists were becoming aware of the public’s reaction to these advertisements and those negative reactions. Because of this artist’s of the time decided to take design more seriously in the future. With these big, busy…
Language Arts has been a developing class for the future, but also for the past through reading. Reading a book is how that’s possible to go back in time. This year in Language Arts class we read a book that made it possible. In our reading group also known as “Literature Circles”. In literature circles my group read the book” Blood on The River” by Elisa Carbone. After reading the book, in US History and Language Arts, we did a project called the infographic project. From this project, I grew the most in collaboration. My partners for the project were Caralina and Jacob. An infographic is a visual representation of information. During this project collaboration was the most important quality to have a group that would put this infographic together. Since, we had to divide parts of the infographic up to make it easier to finish it.…
There have been some challenges with drawing. For one, I got what seems to be a pretty late start, only starting to really draw my freshman year of high school, and while that may seem young to some, it seems like usually, people start to draw or to make comics when they are still in middle school. So when I did draw, it always seemed like my drawings were “falling behind” the drawings other artists of my own age group had created. After I had finished drawing something, I was always so proud of it… up until I visited the internet and saw all of the drawings that were so much better.…
I will be discussing Post-Modernism with the typography works of American graphic designer David Carson. Using examples of his work, this essay will cover visual language, conceptualism and parody and play. Carson is well known for his grunge typography, seen many times in his work for Ray Gun magazine (Carson, n.d.). In relation to Post-Modernism, his body of typography work is what makes him really stand above the crowd as a graphic designer.…
When asked in class every year which subject I admired the most, my answer was always “none”. Although the grades in my core curriculum classes were always excellent, I never found interest in the basic subjects. Math was a bunch of numbers with letters, science just reviewed our bodies and the how the world was believed to be through one scientist theories and history repeated itself, constantly. As a freshman, I contemplated tremendously over what major and career I would pursue for the rest of my life. I never knew there were more subjects than just science, English, math and history until the day my mother introduced me to unraveling my creativity in the summer.…

There were certain things I wanted to work on, after getting my grade for my Visual essay. I wanted to focus on staying on topic because that was one of the things that I struggled with and got points taken off because of that. I also wanted to work on my comma splices, and punctuation, which I usually struggle with and got points taken off. I also wanted to improve working on my tone, and the way I write or express myself while writing because sometimes, I get comments from the Writing Center, and from my professor. In my Rebuttal Essay, I think I did a very good job of staying on topic and worked on my context well. But I also struggled still with my comma splices, because I put all my focus on the content of the paper, and had little or…
