PPP: Study Task 2 - What Is Graphic Design?

Creative use of typography

Alex Trochut

These are two examples of creative type by Alex Trochut, both quite different in style but you can see that they have come from the same guy.

Tony Ariawan

Rubens Cantuni

Graphithèque

This is a typeface created by a design studio, I really like the clever way they have introduced the different weights, by changing the complexity of the characters.

Simplicity

Ruedi Ruegg/Godi Frohlich

I really like the simple use of colour and placement of the words to give the impression of something thats not really there.

Greenpeace
this is a competition brief for Greenpeace to redesign the BP logo, I like it because its simple yet effective.

Stassja Mrozinski

Christopher David Ryan

I really like the creative use of the command symbol to make you think for a second what message is being said.

Invader

Ive always liked the work of street artist invader, the simplicity to them is really nice but its also the impact they have on certain spaces often you need to look really hard to see is art.

Personal interest

since last year on my foundation course I felt I wanted to expand into different areas of graphic design, I studied paper cuts for my final major project and I have really taken a great interest in paper cutting. I love the diversity that can be achieved in this one media.

Ingrid Siliakus

This is the work I based my final project on its by far some of the most amazing style of paper cutting i've seen, the technical ability is just amazing

Karen O'Leary

I love these paper cut maps, I think its a really good idea

Peter Callesen

I like the way he sates himself a boundary to work within, for example here only using the paper within the hand to create the skeleton hand coming out of the sheet.

Jen Stark

Jen Stark creates her paper cut art by layering coloured paper on top of each other and cutting into them to create vortex like sculptures just out of paper.

Simon Schubert

This work is created by simply folding paper, when you actually see the image you can see the amount of depth a detail Simon Schubert achieves just by folding the paper in a certain way, the resulting images have a really eery ghost like appearance to them.
