...Color Management is important to the graphic arts workflow because we need to take pictures of the images. It is also important when we need to see in colors like RGB and CMYK. We need to see color management to determine what number and letter it is. We can also use to create profiles from our devices. Each area participates in its color management services. It goes from the prepress, we need to scan the workflow, then preflight, put it to the desktop, making into a color, plating, pressing after being printed, and finally, do a bindery. We as humans get to see color from light and dark colors. We also see when the color is reflected. Humans can also see some the pixels from Photoshop. It is the process of color characteristics are put from the input and output devices. We study RGB by knowing that we use for printing and it is the additive color. For the CMYK, we use it for designing project to make it to different colors if wanted the percentage to be up to 100% for any parts of the CMYK before printing. For example, a person uses 50% cyan, 25% magenta, 15% yellow and 20% black. It is part of the subtractive color....

...today’s day and age of technology graphics are critical for successful presentations. One sure way in the development is to create the graphics first, then write or create the text around the graphics. Graphics generally fall under two criteria that must be achieved to be considered successful, and they mesh or complement each other. If the image or graphic communicates the right message, then it is more likely that it will be accepted. Then if accepted, the presentation of the message will be clear to the receptiveness of the targeted audience. It has been found that most clip art libraries do not contain the proper graphics for advertisement or newsletters, which causes a delay in the presentation. Also, to retain a captive audience the presentation should and must be pleasing to the audience and not to overwhelm them with too much or too many colors. The author or creator doesn’t want this to happen as it may affect the ability for the viewer to recall and associate the graphic and message at a later time. Many have interpreted visual communication as a fancy term for graphic design. I see it as a process of providing pictorial and written information to an intended audience. I see two important distinctions that separate visual communications and graphic design. The first is that visual communication is a “process,” that by its problem-solving nature includes investigative and analytical skills in the creation of communications. Graphic design focuses primarily on form-making...

...from romance to satire, drama to comedy, and poetry to graphic novels. Comic books or graphic novels do not have a higher standing in the literature world when it comes to character, plot development, and is targeted towards a more youthful audience. In fact, Scott McCloud had at one point believed that comic books were just bright, colorful magazines with poorly drawn pictures and silly stories of men in their tights. Later on, McCloud became a comic book artist and begun to have a deeper appreciation for the medium(McCloud, 2). In his book Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, McCloud gives graphic novels a different definition: Sequential Art. The term was coined by the late graphic novelist, Will Eisner and defined it as an art form that uses images deployed in sequence for graphic storytelling or to convey information (McCloud,5). With regards to this topic, this can also be seen in Art Spiegelman's critically acclaimed graphic novel, Maus....

...HUM 1 1. What is Humanities? The humanities include the stories people tell, the art and music they make, the buildings they live and work in. The word humanity comes to English from the Latin humanitas, which first shows up with the writer Cicero. He used it to describe good people, that is to say "civilized" human beings. Humane people recognize and practice concepts like "hospitality" and "justice. The humanities introduce us to people we have never met, places we have never visited, and ideas that may have never crossed our minds. By showing how others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us decide what is important in our own lives and what we can do to make them better. 2. What is Art?

...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 a designer...

...of Pop Art by Marius Janavicius Critical and Cultural Studies Caroline Archer August 2011 During the 1960s Art Deco and Art Nouveau already were already established movements, which did not have the labels of “contemporary” styles. People were looking for something new, and shocking. Reactions towards established moral standards, social tensions which included race relations, sexual mores, women’s rights gave birth to total reassessment of old values. It was born twice: first in England and then again, independently, in New York. During the early 1950s, several London artists transformed the artifacts and mass media imagery of American popular culture into critical, satirical art works. They were responding to a flood of American postwar export of consumer goods, movies, magazines, comics and advertising. However, Pop Art became popular movement in United States. After the Second World War came the birth of the consumer society. The American way of life, with its emphasis on growth, quantity, consumption and fun, dominated western values. However, underneath many of the same old dark forces raged on: war - Berlin, Korea, Vietnam; racial unrest; the political intolerance of the early 1950s. Among the young, new values awoke, and protest movements sprang up. Pop art mostly opposed abstractionism, represented by Jackson Pollock. It was said that Pollock’s work terminated all connections with visible reality. Young artists blamed him for making art a mean...

...computer technology began to change the process and appearance of design. Overnight these big changes recurred within mail, fax machines and the internet, this all served to further shrink the human community into Marshall Mcluhans global village. Influential People Alan Fletcher is one of the most influential figures in post-war British graphic design. The fusion of the cerebral European tradition with North America’s emerging pop culture in the formulation of his distinct approach made him a pioneer of independent graphic design in Britain during the late 1950s and 1960s. As a founding partner of Pentagram in the 1970s, Fletcher helped to establish a model of combining commercial partnership with creative independence. He also developed some of the most memorable graphic schemes of the era, notably the identities of Reuters and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and made his mark on book design as creative director of Phaidon. Siobhan Keaney After graduating from the LCP, Siobhan Keaney worked briefly for three of London’s most prestigious design companies.

...Michelle Do Visual Art – Graphic Design Written Task (Tertiary) Teacher – Richard Baldwin Graphic Design Essay (T) Graphic Design during the 20th century has been influenced by four artistic, some also being cultural and philosophical, movements called Futurism, Dada, Surrealism and Modernism. These movements have played a large role in shaping the graphic design industry by bringing different meanings into the art as well as inspiring many artworks today. Out of the four movements, Futurism and Surrealism really stood out to me, and the two designers who were influenced by these movements are Fortunato Depero and A.M. Cassandre. Fortunato Depero (1892 – 1960) was an Italian graphic designer and he was inspired by the Futurism movement. Futurism was an artistic and social movement originated in Italy and it emphasized speed, technology and objects such as cars, planes and the industrial city. Since Fortunato was young, he was introduced and taught to develop different art techniques. He discovered a futurist paper called “Lacerba” in 1913 and was greatly inspired by it, this led to his approach to futurism. His career began as a fine artist, then developed into commercial art and later on in life he became the most successful graphic designer. His works include costume designs for stage productions, different advertising illustrations and as well as artworks he created to promote futurism and himself. He was also known for his cover designs for magazines such as...

...The Effects of the Holocaust on Art Second generation survivors are the offspring of the survivors of the Holocaust. Though, these individuals are not directly impacted by the trauma of the Holocaust they are considered to have acquired the scars without the wounds (Albeck 1994). In the graphic novels Maus I and II by Art Speigelman, Art tells the tale of his father Vladek who is a survivor of the Holocaust. Throughout the novels, Art makes references or portrays within the comic how this has affected himself in one way or another. By constructing the panels in a way that shows how one event is connected to or lead to the other: the text demonstrates that Art has experienced some psychological scarring from the Holocaust as a second generation survivor. In a broader statement, the Holocaust has had a psychological and cultural effect on its survivors. In a television interview titled, “The Holocaust through the Eyes of a Maus” with Art Speigelman: Art states that the purpose of this graphic novel was to recite his father’s story as a survivor of the Holocaust. Art mentions that Maus is about the past and the present intertwining irrevocably and permanently. One of Art’s intentions were to gain a relationship with his father. Through this process of coaching Vladek, trying to collect information about the events that occurred he gained a relationship as interviewer/interviewee. Multiple situations throughout the novels Maus I and Maus II, Art indicates that the Holocaust has...
