What have you learned about the history of Graphic Design and specifically Poster Design?
I have noticed that a poster design is to mainly captivate the attention of an audience with a picture as well as with a great message. This way the person viewing the picture will be caught on fast! I also noticed that through these mediums, artists have found a way of putting their emotions out there through art. Both, have similar objectives and those include, introducing an idea with the use of images, pictures and symbols. In other words, this is basically visual communication; through art!
Who is your favorite Graphic Designer? Where did they study and learn about Graphic Design?
I chose Siang Chang as my favorite designer. I chose her because I really like how her artwork produces her feelings. Her art includes patterns and colors that are alike. However, they are toned. I also thing her art is super girly, and that's what I liked most! She studied Graphic Design in Signapore, China. She graduated from a school called Nanyang Academy. There she obtained her bachelor's degree in Visual Communication.
What is their style of design?
The style of Siang's designs are mostly patterns. You can feel her joy through her work. In the designs I've seen, she uses a lot of colors that are mostly around the same base. For example, if she picks red she uses pink, light red, violet, white and so forth. So, she basically goes by a scale. That is my favorite part. I also like that her art is able to be viewed through many angles and that's what gives the illusions. Her art is just one structure. Moreover, her art is handmade.
