Left brain vs. right brian: play on stereotypes?

This reminded me of the GE  "Art versus Technology" ad. Do you think it plays into the same old gender stereotypes or moves beyond them?

Dali Exhibit a Must See

Went to the Dali exhibit this past week. Talk about amazing. This is a must see for all interested in art.

Project 2 ideas

1. Comparing cosmetic ads in Asia v.s. U.S. We normally see cosmetic ads associate with female models through out the centuries; however, it is getting popular to use male models/celebrities to sale products in Asia. One biggest reason is the cultural difference.

2. The Toyota car commercial recently shows on TV has brought new target audiences. We usually see car commercial features the safety and speed for family and male target audiences. However, this Toyota ad shows the coolness it could make a parents be and their children proud. There seems like a problem of influencing people of how embarrassed it is to drive an old car.

3. Domino's new campaign starting with the fact of people complaining about their pizza and now they are trying to fix the problem. Most pizza commercial we've not seen the honest criticizing part but they took it and use it as saying they will hear consumers' voices.

Brittany and I at SCAD with AIGA listening to Joshua Hirsch from Big Spaceship

3 ideas

My first idea was about the Got Milk ads, the use of infamous people over normal everyday people to produce the viewers to drink milk.

My second idea was the Dove’s ads were they change the way of using real women over models to endorse they product and contrast them to that of Olay ads.

My third idea is somewhat like the first idea. I was thinking about the use of famous personal to up the sale of an certain item normal everyday items like perfume, jewelry, makeup and every food.

From then to now

It's amazing to see where the history of Graphic Design has led us. Seeing the use of technology now compared to where it was in the early 20th century, and how it has effected design in the forms on how it is produced is breath taking. What I find most interesting is the fact that the same design elements that were used in the 20th century are still at play though. See if you can see the similarities: http://wegraphics.net/blog/inspiration/30-examples-of-how-to-bring-typography-to-the-next-level/

Interesting article... Is this going to be in the history books in the future??

Eric Gill said what?

Art which is not propaganda is simply aesthetics and is consequently entirely the affair of cultured connoisseurs. It is a studio affair, nothing to do with the common life of men and women, a means of ‘escape.’ Art in the studio becomes simply ‘self-expression,’ and that becomes simply self-worship. Charity, the love of God and your neighbour, which, here below, every work of man must exhibit, is lost. If you say art is nothing to do with propaganda, you are saying that it has nothing to do with religion – that it is simply a psychological dope, a sort of cultured drug traffic. I, at any rate, have no use for it. For me, all art is propaganda; and it is high time that modern art became propaganda for social justice instead of propaganda for the flatulent and decadent ideals of bourgeois Capitalism. (excerpt from a letter to The Catholic Herald, 28 October 1934)

Looking for help on Thesis Statement

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on my Thesis Statements, I haven't written one in ten years, so any feedback would be tremendous help.

Please scroll down to David E. Peterson Thesis Statements. Thanks!

Hellooo!!

Thesis Statements

1. Herbert Bayer displays aspects of modernism in his cover for Bauhaus magzine in 1928 by combining photography, typography, and simple geometric forms.

2. Joost Schmidt's Bauhaus exhibition poster enforces modernism with the self-reflexive use of lithography and simplification of forms.

3. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy used the combination of text, photography, and visual planes to create the poster for tires in 1923, which illustrated the combination of techniques to simplify design.

  Thesis statement

 1) In the 1927 poster Etoile Du Nord,  by A. M. Cassandre, the artist presents the viewer with a positive aspect of machinery and speed. It is a message of hope and progress  conveyed by means of
modernistic design concepts: reduction of form and bold typeface.  

Thesis Statements

1. Joseph Morse’s Multicolored woodcut poster is a great example of modernism due to it’s ability to attain true representation as well.

2. W.J Morgan’s Macbeth Poster represents modernism through it’s use of montage.

3. Morris Pere et Fil’s “Cirque d’hiver” is not modernistic due to it’s  inability to attain true representation.

Thesis Statements

1. Fortunato Depero’s page from Depero futurista is a good example of modernist work because of its angular shapes, sans-serif type, and unique layout.
   
2. John Heartfield’s anti-Nazi propaganda poster, “Adolf, the Superman: Swallows gold and talks tin,” is modernist because of its simplification, san-serif type, and use of montage.
   
3. Lucian Bernhard’s trademark for Manoli cigarettes is a good example of modernist graphic design because of its sans-serif type and extreme simplification.

Redesigning stop signs

file:///Users/colette/Desktop/Redesigning%20the%20Stop%20sign.rtf

Possible Thesis

1. How does Neville Brody incorporate his passion for Punk Rock to create Modernistic works with references to Dadaism and Pop Art.

2. David Carson has become an experimental typographer and innovative magazine designer how is this true in regard to Barnard.

3. Futurism, Fauvism, Cubism paved the way for Graphic design, Milton Glaser's famous "I love NY" logo was influenced by these styles.

Thesis Statements

1. Aleksandr Rodchenko's advertisement "Dummy" shows themes of modernism through its self conscious design and a sense of ambiguity that leaves the viewer guessing the nature of the ad.

2. In Cassandre's poster for the Paris newspaper, "L'Intransigeant" the use of a dynamic composition made up of strong lines and reduced shapes illustrate the principles of modernism in graphic design.

3. Berthold Loffler's poster for a theater and cabaretin 1907 shows qualities of modernism in its use of flat color and simple outline to illustrate an idea simply and efficiently.

David E. Peterson 3 Thesis Statements

1. El Lissitzky’s cover and page from Destil is a great example of the 5 main points of modernism in Graphic Design.

2. Kurt Schwitters Pages from Merz 11 really illustrates the use of composition in modern Graphic Design.

3. In modern Graphic Design, the bellwether poster byE. Mcknight Kauffer, the Daliy Herald is one the best examples of geometric abstraction and futurism.

Thesis Statement

1. Fernand Leger “The City” in the paintings reduced subject matter to compositions of made up of colorful shapes. He also fragments his subjects and uses letterforms to form stylistic representations of his visual experience.

2. El Lissitzky “Beat the white with the Red Wedge” uses simple shapes to convey his message instead of words and pictures in the conventional arrangement.

3. Pictorial Modernism: Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, Normandie uses simple illusion and type to suggest a massage easy for the consumers to understand.
