Quote from Saul Bass


“If I do my job well, the identity program will also clean up the image of the company, position it as being contemporary and keep it from ever looking dated.”

These are once again some of the many posters he created. They were known for boldness, structure and composition of the arrangement and how it reflects the meaning into graphics.

Neville Brody Graphic Designer:

Neville Brody is a British graphic designer and is considerd one of the best of his generation, also he is typographer, art director and brand strategist. The reason I picked Brody was simply because of the vast amount of type work he has done and the diversity of this. He went to london college of printing and made his way through the industry and caught a lot of viewers by his record cover designs and the involvement in the music scene the the early 1980's.
Another reason the diversity sticks out to me of his work is simply because how well his work is presented. furthermore the purpose of each design. Each design is different but reminds me a lot of Olly Moss's work due to the simplicity of it.
Some of the places Brody has worked for are city limits, lei, Per Lui, London's observer newspaper.

Below are some of 27 fonts he has created

Broody, N. Untitled fonts 


Each font of his is very different and can be used commericaly. Below are some other pieces of his work which out to me the most.

The reason I picked these four as my favourite designs of his is simply because of the complexity and strength of the image. I personally love his typographic faces as they are both different and makes myself want to make one.

As an overall designer and typographic designer I feel he is very strong and successful in what he does, he own created fonts are clean, concise however still not boring to look at. A lot of his work has helped me before for such parts as layout and colour contrastment and in the future will help alot.

Issac Cordal.

Issac Cordal is a sculpturist from london, he caught my eye whilst trying to do my photography degree course of looking at a certain perspective of society today. His work is miniature street art and his figures are made out cement. His work is a lot similar to slinkachu however I feel Cordal's work gives off a stronger means and is adaptable.

Issac Cordal hasn't just done one series of his work but many all over the world. “Many will miss these miniature life scenes, but for those that do discover them, it brings a little intrigue to our fast-paced lives.” This was one of the main parts that made me realise what his work was about and how his figures enhance his type of work. 

His work is inspiring not just because it helped myself but mostly because it is a great and eye catching approach to messge sending. He has been making these cement since 2002 and first placed them in the street of a city called vigo in 2006.

 This is some of his work which he placed in a exibition together. It represents society today and how people are percieved today. In each photo it tells a unique story but works well as a collabration of artwork. 

Cordal, I. Untitled 5
 

 This is one of my favourite pieces just simply because of the message it convies. The image is simple but also I feel gives off many meanings, these could be feeling trapped with feelings  religious views and how it is pushed onto some people.

Peter Saville:

Untitled 1

Peter Saville is a graphic designer  and has been working in the design industry for the last twenty five years and also worked in communications which affected art and design. Away from designing graphics he has also worked in the fashion industry.
Petter Saville is also the co-founder on a company called factory, below is some of his work. The reason I picked to show these pictures is because of I feel is work is different to others and represents what he wants in a mimalist way.

I feel these posters are very successful and personally make me see how layout and composition in important to get the meaning across. They are bold, creative, they explain the product and catch the viewers eye. A part that keeps me interested with his work is that he constanly thinks of new ideas with limited space to think about, meaning the product is the same but the design is constanly changing.

Modernism

Modernism is an art form that has many arguments and views involved within it. Modernism started in the early 19^th century due to the wars that were going on. Art is a form of showing emotions and this is what modernism tried to convey and show the feelings of the population around. It was described as the experimentation of avant-garde trends. Due to this movement photographers and many artists such as Pablo Picasso tried to capture the emotions and thoughts of people, this to them was a new time of era of art and gave them inspiration.

Utopia did not succeed in these photos which was different to other conveyances of art as a lot of art was about what people wanted to see rather then the modern life itself.

                                               Andrew, W. Christina's World (1948)

The arguments that modernism involves is how modern art work today is not conveying the same message as it used to, It does not carry the same values or ornaments as it is ( vert reduced ) never ending. It has been described that utopia and illusions of what is true has become introduced more to modernism rather then realist views.

Banksy, Street artist:

Banksy, Untitled 1 (no date)

Banksy is a newish artist to myself but a very inspiring one in that time. Banksy is a street artist but has a twist to the whole story of his work.

Banksy's real image has never been found out 100% but instead his work speak for himself and personally I feel he creates art that represents society's views and what many people don't say. Many people have tried to find out who he is but in my opinion it creates a stronger image, art speaks for itself and the artist doesn't need to enhance this.

 

Untitled 2

This is the image the daily mail released trying to get information about banksy and hopefully trying to find out his image to what he looks like today. This was the only image the 'Mail' could find however information was given and questions were asked, the image below is what people think he looks like now but nothing is certain. 

  In the frame: The man in this photograph, taken in Jamaica four years ago, is believed to be Banksy
Untitled 3

Banksy, Untitled 2 (no date)

A lot of Banksy's work is what many people look past and how society is changing. In years before people that were gay were outcast however as society is changing it has been more accepted. I feel this piece of work enhances and is more noticed more then others because of him using police men and how they are meant to control society, however it contradicts their power and views being changed. 

Banksy, Untitled 3 (no date)

Banksy, Untitled 4 (no date)

A reason I chose this piece of work was because how opposite the two main objects are which is another reason I feel Banksy's work is so powerful and why it catches people's eyes.

I feel Banksy's work is different, diverse and subject the thoughts that many people think. The work enhances thoughts. Furthermore by not having his image revealed It keeps him interesting and is intriguing of how his thought process work.

Chris Keeney, Photographer:

Chris Keeney caught my eye a while ago and still creates outstanding photos, he takes part in wedding photography, corporate, studio and events such as music festivals, however, one part of his work as always caught my eye, pinhole photos. Using such methods as pinhole, medium format, colour film etc has always caught my eye because people are still using old methods and making them new.

Keeney, C. Untitled 1 (no date)

Keeney, C. Untitled 2 (no date)

Keeney, C. Untitled 3 (no date)

These are some examples of Keeney's work and how effective old methods are. I feel as a photographer but also a viewer on how old methods are just as appealing and effective as the new. Modern photography was made by the history before and it still creates the photography made now, it created the methods the thought and inventions.

“If the essence of life is change, then I imagine its opposite--immutability--must be a form of death. I see my photography as both an affirmation of and reaction to the inexorable process of growth and decay, the wheel of life”

This was said by Keeney on his website, by him saying this I feel he tries to show how photography is like any other thing it grows and evolves into something new. This is why his work catches my eye because he still tries to keep the “death” alive.

 

Untitled 4 and 5

These diagrames are to show how a pin hole camera works. There are many different types of pinholes however each is set up the same and works the same. Each have a hole or lens on the front which lets in the light, the photo depends on how long the hole is open for. This is just like a modern lens and acts as a shutter speed.

Paul Rand

Untitled 1

Paul Rand was very well known for being an American graphic designer but best known for his creates of corporate logo designs, he was known as one of the biggest designers of his time and still is a idol to look up to as a designer. By his work still being used it is justification that he was a great designer and remebered for this. His logos that he designed for such companies as 'IBM' still look fresh and concise on the brief he was given.
The reason Paul Rand stood out to me is because eventhough his designs were made in the 1950's to /70's they are still as said "fresh" his simplistic designs remind me of some of Olly Moss's designs and how they haven't over complicated anything.

  “Should a logo be self-explanatory? It is only by association with a product, a service, a business, or a corporation that a logo takes on any real meaning. It derives its meaning and usefulness from the quality of that which it symbolizes. If a company is second rate, the logo will eventually be perceived as second rate. It is foolhardy to believe that a logo will do its job immediately, before an audience has been properly conditioned.”

When reading this quote which Paul Rand said and explained within it made me think that the company has to be as big as the logo itself. Such as the Quality of something has to meet the heading given to it.

Paul Rand's work that carries on and logos that are still around are: Ford, ABC and IBM

Rand, P. abc logo (1962)

Another part that caught my eye about paul rand is how he had fun with his ideas... and was very literal about his idea.

Semiotics

Untitled 1

Meaning of signs can be diverse and implemented into conflicting arguments. Semiotics “ are formed through the society that creates them, by the structures they employ and via the sources that they use” (Hall, 2007, P.7 ). Structures are created but based on what, what makes the structure liable for it, why does it have to mean that rather then this. Semiotics signifier is justified and signified however not proven “ Word is the noise for word.” (Barron, 2006).

All signs are different and convey a different meaning, Icon symbols mean it resembles something else, such as a map because it resembles what the map is of.

 Index symbols is something that has been caused by something else, an exmaple of this is smoke as it is caused by a fire or bonfire.

Lastly, arbitrary ( learnt ) this could mean handshakes between people but what the symbol means, a handshake could imply friendliness or respect between people, Or the dollar sign symbolises American money. 

Semiotics gets hard when other languages mean the same thing and has changed/changes society constanly. 

Coming                                        Coming

未来                       Coming

që vjen                     Coming

 

This is an example of how words can change by not speaking but by just writing.
Other examples of how symbolism can be percieved differently, In some countries when food it left it is seen as rude however in countires such as china it is seen as respect and that you want more.
Signs and symbols are always being altered and changed due reasons such as these.
One of the most used and changed word that would come to my mind is the word "Gay". In the 19th Century it used to be used to explain the feeling of someone being happy, nowadays it is used as an insult and is now recognised for the reasons not used to be.

Identity

Untitled 1

 Identity is how we are perceived and how we look at ourselves and the perception of this. Today's society has many different identity’s due to the society growing and the implementation of faiths and thoughts. We identify people by cultural, gender, sexual, religious, racial and class indentity

Identity is made but not always truthful due to such factors as the media, intimidation of peers and to impress to achieve, “ modern media is encouraging the overthrow of traditions which kept people within limiting compartments”( Gauntlett 2011).

Identity's signifier and the signified of the message can always be changed due to the process and intention of the message, “Chinese whispers” takes place and the message is adapted to what the messenger perceives. This affects the outcome and affects first impressions which will and does affect identity of people. By presumptions being made constantly, identities are not truthful on the person but by the six categories mentioned earlier. Rather then constructing identity it is given to us from “ inherited recipes for living role stereotypes fail to function” ( Beck cited in Gauntlett, 2011) stereotypes of presumptions are made off the minority rather then the majority, an example of this is, a person wearing a hoody is there to cause trouble rather then them wearing it for comfort, this is enhanced by the media and the sterotypical mind of society. 

Identity is expected, given and not constructed and implemented by society around. What right do people have to judge, the only right people have is to explore and make a fair decision.

Olly Moss, Graphic Designer.

 Olly moss is a illustrator and graphic designer. The reason for choosing him for a influence of my own is simple because is work is fun, creative and inspiring. By Olly Moss's work being fun and working on something that means something to him it creates a strong image and allows him to show himself off as a artist and portray his thoughts and how he feels.

When I look through Moss's work I get puzzled and intreged about how he managed to create to have a thought process to end up like that.

Olly Moss's work has consistent but constantly changes in style of design. He covers a wide range of topics and incorporates many ideologies in each.

 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ollym/

This is olly moss's Flickr. When looking through he work it gets me lost, time goes and my mind works. A lot of his work is just him doodling, by him even putting these on flickr it shows every piece of work has a point. 

 

“I redrew the original three starting Pokemon to better fit with the Pikachu I doodled earlier this month”

Moss, O. Untitled 1(2012)

 

“I worked with Studio Ghibli and Mondo to create these two posters for one of my favourite movies. I still can’t quite believe this, it’s such a huge honour.” 

Moss, O. Untitled 2 (2011)

Moss, O. Untitled 3 (2012)

The reason this for being one of my favourite designs is because I feel he has taken the Live, Laugh, love but been able to incorporate it into something completely different and give it off in a different format and this is what I meant by simplistic designs. The colours throughout his work contrast each other well and are bold but are soft. 

When I look at this type of graphic I feel it tries to show equality by showing the black and white ford intwined with eachother, furthermore I feel this is enhanced by having the word "Pray" because a lot of people pray for equality.

Elia Locardi Photographer

 Elia locardi is a photographer and has one main field, Hdr images (High dynamic range). The reason for Locardi being one of my main inspirations throughout my degree is simple because of the consistancy and dramatic photos he creates with making it look easy. A reason Locardi has always stuck out to me is because he hasn't strayed away from his Hdr images where as other photographers have a range of photos. By locardi doing this he has to work harder in my opinion as the range is smaller and planning and location is a lot more important.

These are just some of Locardi's amazing Hdr images. He travels all around the world ranging from China to America. In each of his photo he uses a different technique. To create a Hdr image it involves a range of F-stop and changing the shutter speed and compressing the images together. Locardi has taught me a lot about HDR images and how the most simple scenery can make an amazing photo.

My own Hdr images that were inspired by the simplicity of Locardi's

By consantly looking at Locardi's work the simplicity of photos has affected my thought process and made me look a lot more. These are the photos that I took, which were simple but I felt stuck out well.
