Bad type face! Good type face!

So bad use of type face, I chose this because it screams dated. Its a typical example of past design and fashion and what was "right" used in a modern context it would be ripped apart because of how retro it really is. However it does work with the badly drawn illustration but fit the font into a modern context of books and what adult audiences expect from book covers " never judge a book by the cover" doesn't work anymore.

Now in comparison this book covers font is so much more powerful because of the style and it comes over more sophisticated. The font works well with the design layout of the cover too.  It appeals to an adult audience which I feel the designer wanted as its not filled with colour. Its a book cover which suits purpose.

What is graphic Design?

So as you can probably already tell this is going to be my foundation into my university life and developing of my art work. Anyway one of my briefs was to explain what I felt graphic design was.

Graphic design is more of a focused aspect to the art work. Its focused upon communication between artist and client and is a part of the art world which is more structured. If there is one art form which is thrown into our faces it will be graphic design. Its the art work which has a finish. It is linked into media and advertising because each piece that is seen would of been backed up by an aspect of graphic design be it digital, traditional or photographic.

Graphic design is about ideas but also seeing the ideas in a practical matter its all good being able to create an image but the key work "design" takes it to an every day concept needed to create a design career.

Well thats my opinion.

Books
