    Alex Steinweiss's Accomplishments

    “The way records were sold was completely ridiculous. The covers were brown, tan or green paper; they were not in the least bit attractive, and lacked any form of sales appeal” – these are the words of Alex Steinweiss, the creator of album artwork, way back in 1939. Before Steinweiss’ revolutionary creation, there was quite simply no such thing as an album cover; vinyl recordings were available to buy in the back of appliance stores, where one would enquire for the particular title of a recording and were it in stock, would receive it in brown paper packaging, which was commonplace for all records at the time – possibly reflecting the fact that sales of records at this time in history were neither impressive or significant, instantly suggesting…

    There are so many different types of movies, clothes, magazines, styles now that we have technology there are no limits. We may love or hate the designs we see, but we never really think about the person, the brain behind all the madness. Where did these ideas come from? Who could possibly think and imagine the images we see for all this work? Mike Salisbury might be the answer to these questions. Mike Salisbury started the first five years of his career as an art director for West, the Sunday supplement of the Los Angeles Times, in 1967.…

    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.…

    Analysis Of Irving Penn's Scissors Shop

    While in college at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Arts, Penn encountered Alexey Bradovitch, the Russian artist, graphic designer and art director while earning a degree in advertising design. Bradovtich became an immense figure in Penn’s academic and professional career, academically introducing him to a contemporary mix of Bahaus, International Style, School of Paris Modernism, and Surrealism. Penn’s academic education focused on art and commerce as well as Bradovitch’s emphasis on artistic independence and individuality. While in school Penn interned under Bradovitch at Harper’s Bazaar as a graphic designer, and after graduating in 1938 and purchasing his first camera, Penn became Bradovitch’s fulltime assistant at the publication and worked in Bradovitch’s avant-garde space. The page layout of Bazaar under Bradovitch’s art direction used liberal white space to highlight the artistic power of the images. This professional graphic design experience mixed with Penn’s flâneur’s aesthetic and developing photographic eye, it is no wonder that Scissors Shop is so graphically composed. The image has an almost advertorial quality to the composition, the negative space begs for text to give context to the unornamented shop…

    Malcolm X: Illustrator And Photography

    Main Topic of this book: After the government tears apart his family and he can no longer bear the racism of his all-white high school in Michigan, Malcolm flees to Boston and Harlem, where he sinks deep into a life of crime. From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervor of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect.…

    Doryphoros: Sculpting The Human Form

    Polykleitos’s ideas about sculpting the human form was that it all boiled down to making a statue constructed according to an all-encompassing mathematical formula. Thus, his sculpture Doryphoros demonstrates the idealized canon of physical proportions. Doryphoros is meant to showcase the idealized male athlete or warrior, which embodies virture, civic ideals, and has an appearance mirrored that of the Gods. It also showcases the naturalism and idealism of the human body typical of Greek sculpture of the Classical Age. Polykleitos’s ideas were influential in ancient Greece because, according to Pliny the Elder, Polykleitos “alone of men is deemed to have rendered [the theoretical basis of] art itself in a work of art.” An anecdote from the…

    Social Responsibility Of Graphic Designer Essay

    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.…
