Graphic designs

1. The 5 styles I have chosen are - Pop Art- Modernism- Urban- Futuristic - Op Art

2. Pop Art

Pop art is based on the modern popular culture and the mass media, especially as a critical or ironic comment on traditional fine art values.

This is the most famous pop art painting which goes for 27 million for a single piece, this is Roy Lichtenstein. Pop art began in the 1950’s in Britain and the late 1960’s in the United states.

Modernism

Modernism comes from the western arts and was all gathered at round about the 1850’s. Its characterised by a deliberate rejection of the styles of the past. I like modernism because it kind of combines with futuristic art & photo realistic graphics, but the thing is, it’s actually real life.

Urban

Graphic design style

Music – Mostly all of the graphics on music channels are very colourful to try and catch the eye. Shows like MTV, Viva and The main music channel (channel 18 on free view), Things such as Music album covers have digital illustration, 3d artwork and loads of graphic designs. Music can include all type of styles such as grunge, op art, anime, cartoon etc. because music has every genre. The title will all depend on the genre of the music, The illustrations will be mostly be 3d and very creative to try and have an individual look against the other producers.

Sport –

As you can see in this poster its sort of a punk style with the pictures, it’s like they’ve been cut out of somewhere and put all into the middle of the poster to show variety in the event. There’s also an element of grunge in the title as the letters are not in line with each other and they have their own specific decoration, also the light painting makes it seem like there’s a constant movement. There’s also a dark background, this makes all the things going on in the middle stand out.

Fantasy -

A lot of fantasy games are similar to anime, they have the same kind of affects and graphics, as we can see at the bottom right the name of the game is in almost a grungy style, it’s also got a sans serif type face. As we can see in the centre of the picture, Nathan drake and the enemy are the most outstanding part of the poster, the colours have been brought in the characters to attract the viewer’s eye, and the background is just all one colour.

Fashion- Fashion has a lot of styles and it uses many graphics to catch the eyes of viewers or potential models etc., the main colour in this poster is grey, it’s cut into pieces but most of the pieces are in different colours to attract the viewers, there is sans serif writing in the top left hand corner, all the writing is in white except for the date of the event “APRIL” I think only this word is coloured in for that word to stand out because it’s the most important, the actual date.

Simulation – A lot of PC users play a lot of simulation games, Real life like graphics are used in these simulation games such as Sims, driving games etc., to make the whole game seem as realistic as possible. In these type of games you will find a lot of serif typefaces for the titles to stand out. In the posters it will be mostly be a shot of what’s actually happening in the game.

Action – Everyone loves the action games. All the bright colours and flashung images, these are all techniques used by all the graphic designers to engage with the audience, they all try not to make one bit of the game boring. With action games there will barely be serif typefaces, most will be sans serif and they will also mostly be bold to attract the viewer. The sound in action games is a very important part of it all, all the moving images made are also a big part of it all.

This is my poster campaign, I have used the sans serif typeface because I dint want the writing to be too fancy. I also changed the colour of the words down and frown to show the contrast between those two words and the rest of the words. Also ive put what happens when you don’t sleep regularly in the background but ive sort of faded it out.

10.

This is a real poster campaign, to vote for barrack Obama. He won this vote at the end. Sans serif typeface has been used, as you can see in the poster, the only colours that have been used are an off white, blue and red, which are Americas flag colours, these have been used to show significance of the event. Also a kind of sketchy pencil image of his face has been drawn.
