Own Topic -What is graphic Design ?

Graphic design can come in many different forms, it can be digital based such as computers and using softwares such as Adobe , illustrator , photoshop and indesign , but it can also be analogue using things by hand and relying on their raw talent to get things done ,which one is best ? well i think , they both have their plus points but in the end i guess it comes down to personal choice .and whatever you feel comfortable with , i know that graphic design can not be defined by either side , because a true graphic designer , should be able to be partly both digital and analogue , Graphics is a wide range of things and can not be narrowed down to one thing , being a student studying graphic designer myself , i feel a lot more confident using the digital side , but their are those that may argue that its more lazy that way , and that there is a lot to say for the old fashion way as its more real , and using your actual talent and not relying one some top technology to get things done

This was an energy transmitter , people had to spin the energy into the fan rather then like now days they just press a button and it spins , in the olden days they had to do most of the work , i started to think about how our generation have go lazy and rely on technology working for them .

There was a future part which was full of computers and it just goes to show that he future is heading towards letting technology work for them and do all the work , and then things such as money , and working out stuff , will seise to exist .
and in a way this relates to graphics , everyone is trying to change graphics to digital and stopping that Manuel way , such as drawing , with pencil and paper instead of doing everything in programmes such as illustrator . photoshop , there is a lot to be said about the old fashion way of doing things .
When you go to Museums , you see how the world used to be and hoe life used to be lived and how people relied on themselves and their power to get things done , rather then electricity and technology , even i have become a little dependent on technology , if my internet goes i just loose the will to live life should be about learning to do things on your own .

I could not define what i had seen in the science Museum in only one post so i have split it in 2

This real interested me an old Fashion camera , Its was so weird to see , how camera used to look and now how compact they are , because i used to be interested in photography , i got to know the sorts of camera we had to use ,and this camera was so old and weird .

As a graphic Designer , Mac are sort of implied and needed , so when i saw that this was the first mac out i actually laughed , as its not at all what you see in the shop now , they are really thin and good looking , these are what we used to call box computers ,it makes you grateful how far technology as came throughout the years .

This is a film camera , that my mum said , he mum used to have one like , and its mad to know that people in this time and year , still has these things , on my photography course , we had to get one of these in order to know photography well  and the history of it and know it from the basis .

Own Topic -British Designs Exhibition





At the V&A went to an exhibition , called British Design , I found it really Fascinating , as there was designs throughout the years , As a student studying Graphic Design , i found this exhibition very beneficial , it shows how times have changed , and also it shows how in graphic design , its like technology keeps changing never stays still and what I found even more interesting was that one day , work that I do and produce may be put in an exhibition like this , i used this exhibition as inspiration for a load of my graphic design projects mainly the logos etc. , and even Isotopes were in this exhibition which is something i want to work in , in the future , 
This exhibition related to a load of art courses , product design , graphic design and loads more , the objects that have been created , its so interesting to see how things change , and is only new for a short time , before something bigger and better takes the place of it .
I love exhibitions like this , with people creative work , which creates inspiration for future pieces of work

Own Topic -How had Typography Changed throughout the years ?

 
I have been studying Typography , and I started to look at different Typography Posters and I started to wonder how typography has changed throughout the years and how styles have became more complex and changed .
 
 
This was a poster from the 1950's look how simple it is , and basic .
 
 
This was a poster in the 1960's , so its 10 years later then the one above , see how the styles have became more effective and how its been played with a bit more to create more interest .
This is a typography poster throughout the 2000's and you can already see how the letter and typefaces have started to dominate the picture and take shape into a bigger image .
 
From what I have gathered looking at all these different typography posters is that the posters are just like technology , more complex and more built into them the posters are just changing through the times and trying to keep up to date with the years ,
I do like how the posters have started with simple ones like just the wording on the poster to not which has words in shape of the actual idea of the poster .
