11st class

Swiss Design & The International Typographic Style
more than just grids
visual unity achieved by asymmetrical organization
use of objective photography san serif type, flush left, rag right
mathematica grids
being socially useful

we can see the trace back from early design movement such as the bauhaus and constructivism

suprematism is about pure feeling about art
construcivism is about making thing useful, the Bauhaus is about making thing useful in the home, better bulidings, clear communication

more important than the appearance is attitude!

Design as a socially useful and important activity!

max bill is involved in the planning of the institute of design in germany
ulm is important because it was a school notable for its inclusion of semiotics as a field of study.

Semiotcs
the philosophical theory of signs and symbols, what things mean in relationship to other things.
syntactics-order
semantics-meaning or referred to
pragmatics-how it is used

If u design

Adrian Frutiger, born in 1928 create the universe alphabet in three years.
Does away the with the traditional Roman system, and uses a numbering system instead.
Univers logical, systematic, and sans serif. able to get tremendous variation while using the same family of fonts.

Armon Hoffman still alive
create archaic swiss style
develops a system of relationships and contrasting elements
if you design the negative space, the rest will work.
the negative space is an active component of any composition.

Josef Muller Brockman Consistently Sues implied Grits and objective imagery
used same mathematical structure for many different posters show the flexibility of grid, used grids as the art.

der Film

three math poster give u flexibility.

I am a Swissy

Beethoven concert

Paul Rand use imagery to introduce the concept of Christmas and War

uses dots to convey different semiotic meanings
what is the simplest thing to get the idea across?
frequently signs work, cuts paper and uses hand made media/collage, less refined
designed original UPS logo
design is the synthesis of form and content

Saul Bass main title design
Designed the opening titles for many Alfred Hitchcock films

Swiss Design is amazing concept by using grids and structure. it very charming to look at it, I love looking at Swiss design because it always feels like the design is bold and delicious, so perfect that every element is in the best possible place in order to communicate the message. it feel bold and delicious. the use of system, grids, and font families also allows designers break a rule and maintaining a confident and stable feel. it really amazing that Swiss Design had a great influence on industry, doesn't matters what kind of form, you can always apply Swiss design ides to communicate differently.
Swiss Designer such as Joesph Muller Brockman, Adrian Frutiger, Armon Hoffman, Saul Bass, they are the pioneer of Swissy, their work change the new generation of designer or artist.

Personal Thought
I kind like the era of Constructivism and Suprematism, I am really digging the two form of design style, I like just a square be a simple beautiful form of art. the poster "Soaring to Success Daily Heralb" is a good example, I see myself doing this kind form of art in the feature as a motion designer. there are artist that I look up to like Charley Harper who has similar style, which it's call minimal realism, they said it captured the essence of the subject with the fewest possible visual element, and i agree. I believe it contrasted the nature-oriented artwork with drawing influence from Cubism, Minimalism, Einsteinian physics and other developments in modern art and science.

First Class

first day class I learn about Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of book printing, he start the first printing revolution in western world. he also print the 42-line Bible, it has been acclaimed for its high aesthetic and technical quality.

at the every beginning of the class we see the London Calling album cover of the punk band, the clash made in 1979. the cover was used for one of the Elvis Presley's ablum back in 1956. and then we see more modern poster, their style are all connected in a way.

soon we jump into talking about the caveman who can't express themselves so they put images on the walls, it evolved into the cuneiform, that's the earliest form of writing, later it transform into printmaking.
and here it comes the fact for print 1. middle class like to buy things. 2. student expanding with them have class, increase literature into demand, 3. people want books, it shape people who has less knowledge into reading.


Definition of words

xylography - printing with wood

ligature - Two characters designed to work together.

Fleurons- Typographic decorative elements.

Incunabula - The first 50 years of printmaking.

Vellum- Sheepskin

Death books- the art of dying. They also were used for church propaganda.

Here is the a piece of motion animation talk about history of design and type.

History of Graphic and Motion Design

Motion graphics are generally short pieces of time-based visual media which combine the languages of film and graphic design. This can be accomplished by incorporating a number of different elements such as 2d and 3d animation, video, film, typography, illustration, photography, and music. Common applications of motion graphics are film title sequences, animated logos at the end of commercials, lower-third elements, etc.
Broadcast graphics are motion graphics has a strong presence in television. Commercial graphics, entertainment, and show packaging graphics are just a few of the venues in which motion design is found.

Distinguishing motion graphics from other disciplines

Film. Although feature films may contain motion graphics (for example, Shynola's work in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or MK12's work in" Stranger than Fiction"), very few (if any) are actually considered motion graphics pieces in themselves.

Visual Effects. Visual Effects are primarily concerned with creating special effects that look realistic, while motion graphics server a purpose more ambiguous - one more akin to graphic design.

Character Animation. Both traditional 2d and 3d character animation can be used within motion graphics, but usually aren't motion graphics in themselves. Significant use of graphic design principles or stylization can blur the lines between traditional animation and motion graphics.

The history of motion graphics

Like graphic design, it's hard to pinpoint the exact start of the motion graphics as a discipline. In the early 20th century people such as Viking Eggeling, Oskar Fischinger, Len Lye were experimenting with films that resemble motion graphics. Saul Bass' film title sequences in the 50's and 60's took it a step further and into the public eye. In the late 70's and 80's people such as Harry Marks and Robert Abel helped bring dynamic computer-generated graphics to broadcast television.
It's unclear when the term "motion graphics" was first used. In 1960, John Whitney started a company called Motion Graphics Inc. and frequently used the term in his work. The term rose to prominence in the early 1990's, alongside the advent of the affordable desktop computer.

Locations for motion graphics

In the United States, Los Angeles and New York City are the major motion graphics hubs. Internationally, London, Toronto, Paris, Buenos Aires, and Sydney have the most amount of work.
