...Painters can create physical texture using impasto in order to create things like peaks and valleys on a canvas. Visual texture is perceived when looking at a texture, such as an image of tree bark; the paper is still smooth, no matter how rough the texture is perceived. Repeating that texture is what creates a pattern. The 1950s were a time of innovation for design, especially using type. Objects and type were no longer separate entities. They became one sort of element, one figure. I wasn’t able to find much about how technology affected the development of the movement, however historical and social factors did play a large role. The statement made in the image above, “She’s got to go out to get Woman’s Day,” was, in my personal opinion, a bold statement made about the social movements women were making during that period. The statements made in advertisements were as bold as the art itself. I chose this art movement to be the visual inspiration for my poster design because it is the very movement that inspires most of my daily work. Simple, bold designs really speak volumes to me, much more than busier designs do. Also, the social and political movements that inspired the art during that period are far more inspirational than anything I hear about anymore. The movements that figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., or Alice Paul were associated with were incredible feats in...

...of Inquiry Please work with your department faculty to develop a graduate profile that reflects common goals among all departments and in relationship to our mission statement. This graduate profile should be ready prior to our next Program Chairs meeting on October 7th, when we will discuss and come to agreement about what we believe is our “ultimate” graduate profile.

...Elements of Effective Web Marketing Introduction When it comes to web marketing, it’s all about ‘conversion’ - how many of your site visitors you can convert into a lead or a sale. We suggest that companies lacking a well conceived and well implemented website conversion strategy, are failing to leverage the most important marketing medium of the twenty-first century. The Nine Elements: 1. Identification of site goals 2. Clearly defined target audience 3. Compelling message 4. Site structure and information flow 5. Calls to action 6. Lead capture mechanism 7. Supporting graphic design 8. Site promotion 9. Testing, measurement, and refinement 1. Site Goals Identifying goals is critical for two reasons. First, goals help you to determine what should or shouldn’t be included on your site. You use your goals document as a set of criteria for determining site content, simplifying the design process, and removing the ‘political element’ that plagues some companies. Secondly, having specific goals allows you to measure the effectiveness of your site after it’s completed and live. That’s key because if you can’t measure site performance, then improving it becomes much more problematic. So you’ll find that measurement and improvement are the keys to that ROI you’re looking for. The bottom line on goal setting is that if you never identify the target, then you can’t expect to hit it. 2. Target Audience A foundation of effective web marketing is the ‘who’. Determining...

...ROSENBAUM, AUGUST 15, 1914 – NOVEMBER 26, 1996) was a well-known American graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs. Rand was educated at the Pratt Institute (1929-1932), the Parsons School of Design (1932-1933), and the Art Students League (1933-1934). He was one of the originators of the Swiss Style of graphic design. From 1956 to 1969, and beginning again in 1974, Rand taught design at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Rand was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972. He designed many posters and corporate identities, including the logos for IBM, UPS and ABC. Rand died of cancer in 1996. Early life and education Peretz Rosenbaum was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1914. As Orthodox Jewish law forbids the creation of graven images that can be worshiped as idols, Rand’s career creating icons venerated in the temple of global capitalism seemed as unlikely as any. It was one that he embraced at a very young age, painting signs for his father’s grocery store as well as for school events at P.S. 109. Rand’s father did not believe art could provide his son with a sufficient livelihood, and so he required Paul to attend Manhattan’s Harren High School while taking night classes at the Pratt Institute, though “neither of these schools offered Rand much stimulation.” Despite studying at Pratt and other institutions in the New York area (including Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League), Rand was by-and-large “self-taught as...

...between generalists and specialists? Both groups of people are extremely important in today’s design community because they would easily fit into different hierarchies. It’s up to no discussion that most companies would be expected to hire generalists because of how they get the most recognition for being the “jack-of-all-trades”. Most credit would be given to them due to the trust expectation that people put in them for being all-rounders in different fields of designing. However, counter-acting on that statement, do specialists actually repel the significance of generalists or otherwise? (Meyer, 2015) So who solves the world’s problem? The world’s big problems are not solved by generalists or specialists. In fact, generalists and specialists’ work hand in hand to create some of the most brilliant things the world has seen. There are bigger problems that the world is facing; these are problems from commercial to social and global. (See Fig A) Statistics have shown that we are the 20% that consume 80% of the world resources (Shah, 2013). It’s the synergy of both ways of looking at the world, which solves problems. Not all problems are created equal either. Some problems require a highly technical approach. Others require a broad view and a vision through connecting the dots. Most problems require a union of both. Frankly, graphic design alone, along with industrial and architectural design is not enough. That being said, everybody needs to chip in, in order to make the world...

Recognize/Define The Problem- problem statement/purpose approach or null hypothesis approach and limit the scope of the problem. 2. Select a Method of Solution- Find research from either primary, secondary or both. 3. Collect/organize data and document sources-avoid too small samples, biased, too much info, not representative, gathering not enough info 4. Arrive at answer (2) Secondary Research- information that has already been reported by others Primary Research- Firsthand data such as observational studies, experimental research (taking 2 equal samples and adding a variable to 1.), Normative Studies (surveys, questionnaires,) or Sampling (not taking 100% of population). All research needs to be valid and reliable. (3) Secondary: Don’t collect too much secondary data. Be concise. Read articles rapidly, from memory list main points, review the article to double check. Use either direct quotation or paraphrasing. Primary: Surveys should be easy to follow, logical sequence, appealing, single answer, provide all of the above in MC, avoid threating questions.

Explain the importance of computer literacy. 2. Define the term computer. 3. Identify the components of a computer. 4. Compare the uses of various types of: input devices, output devices, and storage devices. 5. Describe categories of computers and their uses. Structure and Functions of a Computer 1 1.0 Introduction A computer is an electronic machine designed for the storage and processing of data. The machinery is called hardware, and this highly sophisticated equipment needs equally sophisticated programs (called software) to become a working computer system. Modern society has come to depend very heavily on the use of computer systems. Banks, businesses, government departments, industries, shops, people at home and school all rely on computer to play a vital role in their daily activities. These activities are centered on information. In business, the computer system has been used a lot and replaced filing cabinets as means of storing information, and clerical workers as a means of processing it. By storing and processing information on a computer system, these businesses can function more quickly and efficiently, because information can be found and collated much faster.
