OUGD101 - What is Graphic Design?


Advertisements from Grafik magazine promoting 1/3 off only using typography. Simple and efficient. 

 

Combination of postcards, using type and image. Top left focuses on hand drawn type and imagery in monochrome. Top right experimenting with media and materials as well as colour. Bottom left, cutting into card and pouring ink before letting it run. Type is simple and to the point. Bottom right, using a combination of different typefaces. Each typeface is well thought out and works well with the other typefaces giving the overall image more continuity.


Illustrations for flatpack furniture from IKEA. Each illustration is easy to understand without any wording or phrases therefore allowing it to be understood worldwide.
